6. The One Where Oatmeal Is Trying To Kill You

Ever felt confused and overwhelmed by all the conflicting nutrition advice, or found yourself face-first in a pint of ice cream after losing the willpower to stay on your diet (again)? This episode explores why dieting is what causes us to lose control and binge or overeat, and how we got to the point where oatmeal is the latest “toxic” food we’re being told to avoid. Dr. Sarah share’s her personal experiences with dieting, and what led her to let go of all food rules and start to just trust that her body knows what it needs. Key takeaways: Diet culture has made women feel like that can’t be trusted to know what and how much to eat making us perfect prey for the diet industryWhy following food rules and “expert” advice is actually just making us more disconnected from our natural hunger and fullness cues and leading us to cravings and overeatingThe truth about oatmeal & phytic acid and what we actually know about what happens to your health when you eat more whole grainsIf you’re looking for a no-nonsense nutrition framework to help end the on/off diet pendulum, check out Dr. Sarah’s course Effortless Nutrition.
