Why is it that some parts of eating seem easy to change while others feel impossible to shift? In this episode, Bronwyn Fletcher introduces the Four Layers Behind Eating Behaviour; Food Rules, Food Stories, Eating Blueprints and Eating Systems. Drawing on conversations with more than a thousand women who have experienced weight regain, she explains why eating is far more complex than calories, discipline and willpower suggest. You'll discover why some behaviours respond to conscious effort, why others operate on autopilot, and how understanding the layer underneath a behaviour can completely change the explanation and the solution. Because when eating behaviour starts making sense, different possibilities for change begin to emerge.
