Stop Saying “I ate so bad” or “I ate good” if You Want to Lose Weight - Episode 126

I break down why labeling my eating as “good” or “bad” used to keep me stuck in the binge-restrict cycle — and why it does the same thing to my clients. I walk through a simple, judgment-free exercise I use to help people finally understand what their bodies actually need.What You’ll Learn: • Why I see clients get stuck on a hamster wheel of moral food judgment • The real cause of weight gain I see over and over: it’s not “bad” foods, it’s eating past fullness • Why 8 out of 10 times when someone tells me they “ate bad,” it started with under-fueling earlier in the day • The 48-hour, no-judgment-words exercise I have clients try • How I coach people to find their “80% full” stopping point instead of chasing food rulesWho This Is For: Women who feel stuck cycling between “being good” and “being bad” with food, and who want a strategy-based approach instead of more rules.Connect with Me:📧 Email: [email protected]📷 Instagram: @beth_cannafitnessnutrition🌐 Website: cannafitnessnutrition.comFAQWhy do I keep binge eating after I “eat clean” all day?In my experience, this happens because you’re under-fueling earlier in the day. When you restrict food or skip meals, your body craves more and you’re more likely to overeat later — it’s not a willpower problem, it’s a fueling problem.Can I gain weight from eating “healthy” food like salad?Yes. I tell my clients that what causes weight gain is eating past fullness, regardless of what the food is. You could gain weight eating a giant salad if you eat it past the point of satisfaction.What does it mean to stop at 80% fullness?It’s the stopping point I coach clients toward — satisfied, not stuffed. It takes practice, but you get several chances a day to work on it.How do I stop attaching “good” or “bad” to my eating?I have clients describe what they ate over 48 hours using zero judgment words — just facts. No “good,” no “bad,” just what happened and how it felt. It retrains your nervous system to stop keeping score.
