Many of us constantly outsource information about our own bodies because we’ve been taught not to trust them our whole lives. Whether you know it or not, this may lead you to look for permission to restrict your food in many sneaky places. From 'What I Eat in a Day' posts to therapeutically designed protocols for specific health conditions, this episode explores the thin line between health-promoting behaviors and restrictive diets. We’ll also touch on the mental and physical implications of these kinds of restrictions.
