#140: The Fallacies Of Weight Control Revisited – Interview With Chris Sandel

I’m revisiting my interview with Nutritionist Chris Sandel.

We chat about on the physiology of the restrict-binge cycle, the fallacy of weight control and dieting, how to learn to trust your body again and I’ll be answering a listener question on how to find balance between eating what you want and health.

In this episode, we chat about:

I answer a listener question how to find balance between eating what you want and health,

- How Chris realized that his weight was not in his control and how that shaped his approach with working with clients,

- The physiology of the restrict-binge cycle and why we really can’t control our food,

- The fallacy around the amount of control we have over our weight,

- Why recovery from disordered eating and chronic dieting involves more than simply “eating normally,”

- Mental versus physical deprivation – knowing the difference and how to heal both

- How to trust your body and what this process actually looks like,

- The importance of doing the inner work to heal your relationship with food,

- What is moderation and is it possible?

- Are there some people who need to abstain from certain foods?

Plus, so much more!
