We've all experienced it: go on a restrictive diet with specific rules and a list of what NOT to eat. Consequently we tend to want exactly what we're not "supposed" to have. This is simply part of being human and it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you. It does mean that food restriction in any form has both mental and physical consequences.
With this in mind, Erin and Michael walk through several common restrictive diet approaches such as gluten-free, intermittent fasting, New Year's resolutions, sugar restriction and more. Whether you're a high-achieving athlete or a busy parent wanting to improve your health and nutrition, listen to this conversation before you take a leap into an extreme, restrictive approach.
