Episode 12: Can Intuitive Eating Really Work If You're Afraid of Gaining Weight?
This episode is for you if you're beyond ready to stop dieting and relearn how to eat intuitively, but your fear of weight gain is holding you back.
You've hit a point where you realize that dieting doesn't work, it's making you feel more obsessed and out-of-control with food than ever before, and you're ready to relearn how to trust your body again.
But there's one big thing holding you back from truly committing to Intuitive Eating and letting go of dieting for good: you're terrified of what it will do to your body.
You've lived the majority of your life according to rules, restrictions and rigid control around what you "can" or "can't" eat. You might feel like it's the only thing that keeps your eating & weight in check.
So naturally, the thought of letting go of those rules may terrify you.
In this episode, we're going to address this fear of weight gain head on. You're going to learn:
- How dieting for weight loss is counterproductive and leads to long-term weight gain
- The truth behind yo-yo weight cycling and how it affects your health
- How focusing on intentional weight loss further disconnects us from our natural ability to eat intuitively
- How Intuitive Eating COULD affect your body (weight loss, maintenance or gain)
- How to handle the fear of weight gain and Intuitive Eating
- Health-promoting behaviours VS intentional weight loss
- Why focusing on health-promoting behaviours is key to improving your health
