You've heard this before: "If you don't want to be tempted to eat it, then don't have it around". But is this really an effective strategy to use with your clients?

In this episode, host Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas and co-host Sarah Tierney break down a powerful coaching tool: momentary restriction (also known as abstinence sampling). With this tool, the goal isn't to take away the foods that your clients crave forever, but instead bring more awareness to the behavior itself in order to change it. They discuss:

  • Why awareness of current behaviors is step one before any change can happen
  • Who makes a good candidate for this strategy (and who doesn't)
  • How to present this tool so clients actually buy in and stick with it

If you want a practical, research-backed tool to help clients build self-awareness around challenging foods or behaviors, this episode gives you the framework to use it effectively.
