If you think about food from the moment you wake up until you go to bed, I want you to hear this: that's common, but it's not normal. And it's not because you lack willpower or discipline. Food noise has real causes, and once you understand which ones are running for you, you can actually turn it down.
In Part 1 of my full food noise protocol, I walk through the four reasons you obsess over food and the exact 8 steps I take clients through before they're allowed to try to lose weight. Because whatever issues you have with food going into a diet get amplified ten times once you're in one.
What we cover:
• Why thinking about food 24/7 is a red flag, not a personality trait
• The 4 reasons food noise happens
• Why skipping straight to weight loss makes binge eating and emotional eating worse
• The 8 pre-weight-loss steps of the food noise protocol
• What being "normal around food" actually looks like
