Ep 445: The Hidden Benefits of Diets: Eating for Joy and Freedom

Many of us have spent years trying different diets, and it’s easy to feel frustrated or even regretful about it. In this episode, I want to show you how all those years of dieting can actually help you, even if it doesn’t seem that way right now.

I dive into the lessons I’ve learned from my own dieting experience, especially from Weight Watchers, and how they’ve shaped the ThINNER Peace process I teach today. We’ll talk about why diets often fail us when they disconnect us from our bodies, but also how they’ve taught us valuable insights. I’ll share how I learned to enjoy foods like potato chips without feeling out of control and how mindful eating changed everything for me. We’ll  also explore why it’s possible to eat what you love without losing track of your health goals.
