Why do food rules feel so helpful at first… and so exhausting later?
In this episode, we unpack the hidden psychology behind dieting frameworks, points systems, and “on track/off track” thinking — and why they often work beautifully in the beginning… until real life gets involved.
You’ll learn:
Why food rules reduce stress (at first)
What actually happens when life disrupts the plan
The difference between structure and restriction
Why guilt isn’t a motivation tool — it’s a trust eroder
What makes consistency feel calmer and more sustainable
This isn’t about bashing any programme.
It’s about understanding why food stops feeling neutral… and how to rebuild trust with yourself without removing structure entirely.
If you’re tired of starting again every Monday, this one will make sense.
