Why You Still Feel Off (Even When You Eat Healthy) - The Psychology Trap of Eating "Perfect"

Host Rex Vitali unpacks why restrictive "perfect" eating always backfires. Drawing on research showing 80-95% of dieters regain weight, she explains how restriction triggers biological survival responses—slower metabolism, amplified hunger hormones, and decision fatigue—that make bingeing inevitable. Rex offers three practical shifts: replace rigid food rules with flexible patterns, design your environment to support easy wins, and embrace "good enough" over perfection for lasting consistency.
