How To Overcome The Holiday "Food Guilt" Trap | Ep 238

from The Mindset and Metabolism Podcast · host Joey Gast

In this episode, I talk about why the holidays don’t need to turn into a cycle of guilt, restriction, or stress around food. I break down what’s actually happening in your body when the scale goes up after a higher-calorie day, and why most short-term weight changes aren’t fat gain at all. We also dig into the psychology behind food guilt and how tying your self-worth to the scale can sabotage both progress and your relationship with food. My goal is to help you view food more objectively, detach emotions from eating, and stay mentally balanced—because long-term success comes from consistency, not perfection.
