Episode 16
Research shows people choose to diet again and again and again even though they fail every single time. Why does this happen? In today’s episode I talk about dieting, what it does to the body, and how to stop dieting for good. I provide some suggestions on what to do when you have urges to restrict or diet and why dieting is linked to a very important need: to feel safe and regulated in your body.
