About this episode

When decades of your life have been spent alternating between binge eating and dieting, it makes to not know how to eat "normally". Many people we work with are accustomed to following a rigid low-calorie meal plan, punctuated by periods of eating excessively.  But to lose the binges, we also need to kick the habit of rigid dieting to the curb. 

In this short episode, we'll clear up what foods are okay to eat, how much to aim to eat, and how to handle the ultimate question: "to have dessert, or not to have dessert?"
