87: I quit dieting, but I’m gaining weig...

Lyndi Cohen
About this episode

After I recorded last weeks episode, I found myself texting Jenna. I realised we had so much more to say. Because let's face it, intuitive eating and weight gain is a murky topic.

And we do not want to lose people back to diet land!

If you have no idea what I'm talking about and you haven't listened to part 1, I highly recommend starting there to get the full context - head back to episode 86.

Ever wondered how to make choices that honor your body and health without spiraling into restrictive thoughts?

Have you quit dieting, but are gaining weight?

Are you tempted to start another diet?

This episode is all about continuing the journey of being the decision-maker for your own body, making choices driven by health and not weight loss. 

It's time to challenge the diet mentality and embrace a life after restriction, calorie counting and 5am boot camps... unless you LOVE 5am boot camps, then they can absolutely stay.

Let's get back to listening to your hunger, the importance of trusting your body's signals, conducting micro-experiments with food and building a sense of trust around your food choices.

So, are you knee-deep in your intuitive eating journey? Just starting out? You've ditched diets, gained some weight and are thinking of dipping back into diet land?

This episode is for you.
