In this episode, Em and Tash discuss the common cycle of self-sabotage that many experience over the weekends, particularly in relation to dieting and fitness goals. They explore the reasons behind this behaviour, the importance of structure and planning, and how to break free from the binge-restrict cycle. The conversation emphasises the need for balance, setting boundaries, and making conscious choices around food, while also addressing the role of intuitive eating and the importance of protein and fibre in the diet. The hosts provide practical tips for listeners to maintain consistency and achieve their fitness goals without feeling deprived.
