Welcome back to the Balanced Dietitian Podcast; The place where we talk about all things, food, body, mind, and the anti-diet. When I started to diet, I didn’t know the consequences of dieting. I didn’t know what would happen to my body, and to my mind. I didn’t know, because I was not informed properly. I was told that dieting was gonna make all my dreams come true and that I was gonna feel so good, and that's not actually what happened. Do you know what actually happens to our bodies when you diet? Why does our body not like dieting? What can actually happen when you diet? I believe in body autonomy. We can all do what we're meant to do and what feels best for us, but I also believe in informed decisions. So today, I encourage you to get informed on the hidden costs of diets so that you can make the best decision for you.
