Outsmart Overeating

EPISODE 27: Why This Doctor Doesn't Recommend Restrictive Dieting (and What to Do Instead)


Listen Later

ANNOUNCEMENT: Are you a Burned Out Dieter Who's Struggling to Stay on Track? Join me and Coach Steph in the Outsmart Overeating program -- 6 weeks dedicated to helping emotional, binge, and compulsive overeaters STOP OVEREATING through psychology, NOT restrictive dieting or willpower. You can snag all the details on the enrollment page.

This week, I invited client, Dr Leah, onto the show to share her experience in my signature psychology-based weight loss program, Unstuffed. As a doctor, Leah reveals how little formal nutrition education she actually received in her medical training. And as a struggling dieter herself, she found the standard medical recommendation to "follow a Keto diet for weight loss" to be nearly impossible to maintain, especially after having her first child. In this episode, Leah talks about the power of habits and the benefit of having a deeper 'why' than simply wanting to lose weight for health and vanity. In Leah's case, she felt a strong connection to wanting to honor and respect a body that was made in God's image. Also, it was important to her to pass down these habits to her children and create a healthy environment where she could thrive -- both in home and at the office with her patients -- by being a good role model. She's been enjoying the benefits of the program so much that she's now convinced her husband (another doctor) to join. Healthy habits truly are the gift that keeps on giving!

If you're a burned out dieter who's feeling frustrated and hopeless, be sure to give this episode a listen. Dieting challenges usually get worse with time, not better. Do your future-self a favor and take action now.
