One of the most common concerns people have when they’re at the place where they are ready to step away from dieting and learn how to apply the principles of Intuitive Eating is if they stop dieting, they will keep gaining weight.
When you've been following diets and food plans for so long, the idea of getting to the place where you can fully trust that your body knows how to keep you nourished and thriving, without going overboard with certain foods can seem too good to be true.
in this episode I break down the different factors that can impact weight changes in the early phases of Intuitive Eating and how Intuitive Eating will help you reach and maintain YOUR ideal, maintainable weight. I also share some of the potential consequences of weight cycling and why it’s so important to our health outcomes to stop the vicious cycle of dieting, so you get to and maintain your body’s biological set point weight.
