33 min - 45: Lost in the sauce of plant-based eating: Can you feel free around food when you’re following a “way of eating”?
Raw till 4, starch solution, oil free, medical medium, juice cleanses…there is so much nuance in the plant-based world. When you choose to follow a “way of eating” you are latching on to something outside of yourself for control. This is a common pattern that many people fall into that keeps them from feeling fully free and at ease around food. Today, I’m riffing on the plant-based world and many of the problems I see (coming from a plant focused eater myself). I also explain how you can heal your control issues that keep you from real food peace, and share a recent update in my own diet.
I discuss…
- What’s the common trap many plant-based eaters fall into?
- Why is there an overlap between disordered eating and plant-based eating?
- Why following a “way of eating” keeps you from true food freedom
- Are you hiding your desires for weight loss underneath health?
- The problems with following influencer’s diets on social media
- Specific examples from my past of disordered plant based eating
- Why healing your relationship with food isn’t about food
- Why not knowing how to eat is a sign of trauma/dysregulation
- A deep dive into CONTROL and how it relates to your relationship with food
- How to surrender control around what you eat
- What if you change your mind about what you want to eat?
- How to clear your nervous system and body so you can actually hear your intuition
- My own journey with dropping the “plant based” label
