Description

In this episode, Sophia sits down with Sammi Berkowitz, who is an intuitive eating dietician. She works with people who are suffering from eating disorders, disordered eating, or chronic dieting. A field of work that Sammi was partly drawn to because of the body image issues she experienced.

She explains how to start eating what your body really needs and doing so at the times it wants you to eat and how to stop feeling guilt or shame about your diet. They also discuss breaking the cycle of chronic dieting, disordered eating, body image issues, and tackling eating disorders.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• There is more to food than just nutrition. Eating plays several important roles in our lives.
• Intuitive Eating is a 10-principal framework that helps people reconnect with their bodies and start eating in a way that fulfils their body´s real needs.
• Society tends to dictate when we eat and what a healthy weight is.
• The focus is not on nutrition, not weight.
• You can enjoy all kinds of foods, provided you do so in a balanced way.
• Being too rigid about your diet is very bad for you. It sucks the joy out of food.
• There is a difference between eating disorders and disordered eating, which is explained in the episode.
• Being happy with your body is not all about how you look. Sammi shares several tips to help you to be more comfortable with your body image.
• Think rationally about clothing sizes. Sometimes it is the cut, rather than the size that is not working for you.
