Episode 8: Why Dieting Makes Us Eat More, Not Less (Part 1) | The Undesirable Consequences Of Food Restriction

When we diet, we disconnect from our bodies as our guides to eating.

We turn our inner authority over to an outside source..

...like a meal plan, a tracking app, an eating system.

I discuss the biological reasons why doing this can drive us to overeat.

I also talk about my personal experience with dieting and restriction and how my eating disorder started in college.

In this episode you will learn:

-How dieting disconnects us from our body, which is our most expert guide to eating well and balanced.
-How dieting tends to increases body shame, and why changing your body will not change your body image.
-Why your relationship with food is everything, and why weight loss strategies are useless without changing your through and feelings about food.
-How dieting turns on the survival switch in our brain that makes us "gasp" for more food.
-Biological factors that get out of balance from dieting and drive you to not feel satisfied by food and overeat.
