Episode 8: How To Break Free From The Yo-Yo Diet Cycle
Does this pattern feel familiar to you?
- You go on a diet/restrict food to lose weight
- You feel deprived and your cravings for foods you "shouldn't" have increase
- You give in to temptation and eat the "off-limit" food. You might think to yourself "I shouldn't be having this", so you eat quickly and don't quite enjoy the food. You probably eat a lot because you think "“What the hell. I’ve had one I might as well have the whole thing".
- Feelings of guilt & shame take over. You feel like a failure and angry at yourself for lacking the willpower to resist.
- You go back to restricting , and vow to "get back on track tomorrow" to make up for the binge you just had.
- The cycle restarts again. And again. And again.
If you’ve experienced this endlessly frustrating cycle, and you desperately want to learn how to break it so that you can develop a way of eating that is consistent, balanced and enjoyable, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I’m going to:
- Help you understand in detail what the diet cycle really is, so that you can start recognizing certain patterns in your life
- Explain what triggers this cycle, and how we get trapped it in
- Break down how you can finally break free from this cycle, so that you can finally get off the rollercoaster of constantly being “on and off the wagon” and start truly living a life of freedom with food
