EP. #186: A Rule Hater's Guide to Food Rules
Listen now
Description
Do you have a lot of rules about what you can and can’t eat?  Some people have lists of food rules that are almost as long as the United States tax code.  No sugar.  No carbs.  No refined flour.  Only eat fruit before noon.  No fried foods.  No dairy.  No gluten.  Eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day.  Drink apple cider vinegar before every meal. Only eat during an eight-hour window.  You get the idea.  Well guess what? These rules are probably keeping you from losing weight.  You can overeat healthy food. I know. I did it for decades.  And they’re stressful, right?  I don’t like rules. Especially ones that are counterproductive. So I want you to forget all of these rules that tell you what to eat and what not to eat and when to eat.  Toss ‘em all! Tune in to this week’s episode to learn the only four guidelines you need to be a healthy weight while enjoying the foods you love.  Weight Loss for Foodies is now available as an online, self-paced course without coaching. In it, you’ll go beyond what I talk about in the podcast, and can download worksheets to practice what you’re learning and guided audio practices. The cost is less than half of the price of the coaching program. Learn more and sign up HERE. Thanks to our sponsor, Betterhelp.
