"The right diet for you is the one that you enjoy. And the one that your body thrives and is fully satisfied on. There is no such thing as a one diet that fits all.” - Sherry Shaban
In this episode, I discuss the psychology behind dieting and the fundamental shift required to cultivate sustainable health habits. Also, the challenge in traditional diet culture, emphasizing the importance of transitioning from a 'can't' mindset to a 'don't' mindset. The discussion uncovers how rigid dieting often leads to a cycle of restriction, reward and undesirable eating behaviors.
Throughout the conversation, I mention the significance of discovering a personalized health and fitness routine that aligns with individual needs and preferences.
I advocate for intuitive eating and consistency over intensity, stressing that optimal health is not about chasing a specific diet but about embracing a holistic lifestyle that resonates with personal goals and body signals.
This episode offers a refreshing perspective that prioritizes mental well-being and mindfulness as key components of physical health.
