Eat the Rules with Summer Innanen

I interview Chris Sandel – Nutritionist – on the physiology of the restrict-binge cycle, the fallacy of weight control and dieting and how to learn to trust your body again. In this episode, we chat about: • 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!
