Send us Fan MailHey friend, this week on the show we are talking about diets. Now, you know I'm all about the NON-diet approach to food and fitness. But, this is a common topic amongst the clients I work with, so I wanted to address it from my point of view.Everyone wants to know what the best diet is for them because they are looking for the magic shortcut to whatever fitness/ health goal they are working on. The problem is not necessarily the diet themselves, but the way we approach them. Now, of course there are many diets that are and can be downright dangerous--However, usually the issues with diets is the way they make you think about food. Causing all sorts of disordered behaviors around foodMaking you feel guilty for eating "bad" food, or deprived because you 'can't have x,y,z"The only way you are going to know what type of diet works best for you and your body is by trying it out. And, the only way to explore this without having the awful experience of dieting is by healing your relationship to food, your body, and yourself (which is what I help you with) so that you can make choices around food that are healthy and aligned with your goals that also allow you to just live your life.
