Ep. 36 - What Does Restriction Even Mean?

In the non-diet world and intuitive eating spaces, you will hear the word “restriction”. But I have found in my work that often we don’t know what that means. We think, “Oh Vanessa, I let myself eat donuts and pizza so I’m not restricting”. However, it’s more complex and deeper than that.

Today I discuss:

-what restriction means
-I talk about physical and mental restriction
-common forms of restriction that are normalised in the dieting world
-how our bodies fight back against restriction and dieting
-the restrict binge cycle

This is a must listen episode!!!
