Description

Weight loss is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ process. For each person wanting and needing to go through this journey, it will require patience, resilience, but most of all, a unique approach. Some people find it very easy to take an ‘intuitive eating’ attitude, some people find it very helpful to count calories, monitor macros, and weigh food. And some people find freedom precisely on a more controlled and guided diet modality, but the significance of achieving a healthy relationship with food, and getting off the diet train, is the message here.

In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Molly Carmel talks about the effects of sugar on our brain and bodies, and the incredible results we can achieve by ditching sugar for good. Molly also dives deep into the more serious consequences of failing a diet and that this sense of failing can cause trauma. Having dealt with eating disorders and having gone through her own transformation, Molly helps people to find what works in each case.
