How to Move Away From Calorie Counting

Georgie Fear and the Confident Eaters Team
About this episode

Are you a long term calorie counter? Then you may want to consider whether it is helping or hurting your journey to breaking up with binge eating. What we have seen with clients is that calorie counting and binge eating are linked, and can unfortunately perpetuate the pendulum swing of binge and restrict.

Maybe you have used calorie counting as a way to manage your weight or feel more in control around food, but instead it has made you feel less in control and more disconnected from your body as a result. If you have listened to this podcast before, then you know that we like to help clients feel more connected to their needs, both physical and emotional. We help clients develop these kinds of skills every day! 

With real client (and personal) examples of how to go through this process, join Georgie and Christina to take your first steps of breaking up with calorie counting!
