How To Keep "Trigger" Foods In The House Without Losing Control

Are you tired of feeling out of control around certain foods? I've been there - the secret snack stashes, the guilt and shame, the endless cycle of binging and restricting. Today, I'm sharing my personal journey from disordered eating to a healthier, freer relationship with food, and the strategies that helped me get there.In an honest conversation, I explore the misconceptions of diet culture's false beliefs and their effects on our eating habits. It was a realization at university that shifted my perspective - I wasn’t failing because of a lack of willpower, I had an unhealthy relationship with food. We'll dive into the challenge of fostering trust, not just in ourselves, but also in the foods we’ve branded as enemies. I'll introduce you to systematic habituation, a process which saved me and has proven incredibly effective for my clients at the Food Freedom Academy. This strategy involves gradual, controlled exposure to our trigger foods, reducing emotional sensitivity and retraining our brains to respond differently.Towards the close of our conversation, I guide you through the practical steps of systematic habituation.From identifying trigger foods, planning controlled exposure, tracking progress and reactions, to making necessary adjustments. Plus, I'll offer some advice on how to create a healthier relationship with food and invite you to reach out for help. So, if you're ready to regain your sense of trust with yourself around previously "trigger" foods in the house, let's dive in!✦Get first access to my brand new free mini- course: Decode Your Food Noise → sabrinamagnan.com/decode-podcast📲 Come hang out over on instagram →  @sabrina.magnan.health🤝 Ready to get support in healing your relationship with food and your body?
