In this episode of The Anti Diet Life, I sit down with registered dietitian and eating disorder specialist Lori Brown to dive deep into Intuitive Eating Principle 3: Making Peace with Food. Lori brings over 20 years of experience in nutritional therapy and shares her insights on what unconditional permission to eat really means—and why so many people struggle with it.
We explore the common conditions people place on food, how to build self-trust through awareness, and the power of habituation in reducing the allure of "forbidden" foods. Lori also breaks down practical strategies for reframing food guilt, shifting toward food neutrality, and changing the language we use around eating. Plus, we tackle the see-saw effect of deprivation and guilt, the Last Supper Mentality, and whether food journaling can be a helpful tool in your journey. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of restriction and overeating, this episode is for you!
