I am delighted to welcome Karen Koenig to the Fit + Vibrant You Podcast. In our interview, she shares: ✔️What the 'rules' of normal eating are, and what a day of normal eating looks like ✔️The personality traits associated with disordered eating (and whether you can change them) ✔️What self compassion and body acceptance actually means- and how it can free you up to live a more meaningful life ✔️Why the typical advice on overcoming emotional eating and binge eating such as "wait 20 minutes so that you can feel full" "drink water" or "just stop binging" don't work for the long term For over 30 years, Karen has been helping dieters, emotional, compulsive and mindless eaters, and weight-cyclers become "normal" eaters. Karen is a licensed psychotherapist, motivational speaker and international author. She lives, teaches and practices in Sarasota, Florida.
