069 The Food Rules You Should Have... But *NOT* Really

In this episode of Pretty Is as Pretty Does, host Sami dives into the hidden ways food rules are keeping people stuck in a cycle of restriction, urges, and binge eating. She unpacks why rigid food rules—like no sugar, no eating after 7 p.m., only “clean” foods—don’t actually create control, but instead fuel obsession, guilt, and feeling out of control around food.
Sami explains how different people have different relationships with food—a bodybuilder’s food choices will look very different from someone healing from binge eating. For those who have struggled with bingeing, emotional eating, or food fixation, the goal isn’t to follow more rules—it’s to rebuild trust with food and create a sense of freedom instead of fear.
Listeners will also learn how to transition from restrictive food rules to food standards—a framework rooted in self-trust, alignment, and gentle discipline. Sami shares why it’s okay to desire weight loss for health or aesthetic reasons, as long as it comes from a place of love and not punishment. She also brings the conversation full circle, discussing how societal pressure to be as thin as possible often plants the seeds for disordered eating behaviors in the first place.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to break free from restrictive dieting, develop a healthier relationship with food, and embrace a lifestyle that supports both their goals and their well-being.
