"What intrigued me the most was this idea of freedom with food. I thought, wow, that sounds amazing...and I have no idea how to get there."
When you've been following all the food rules for decades, the idea of not following them, not being careful about what you're eating, not keeping track of everything you put in your mouth, not punishing yourself after a cheat day, probably sounds crazy, scary, and completely out of reach.
That's what Lynn thought when we first met. I was her culinary nutrition instructor. As the academic quarter progressed, Lynn became more curious about this anti-food rules approach to nutrition and health.
After she graduated, Lynn was more than curious about finding freedom with food and ready to jump into intuitive eating with both feet and an open, curious mind.
In this episode, Lynn shares what it was like for her to unlearn the diet culture messaging that entrenched her since she was 12 years old.
Listen to hear...
