In this episode, I answer one of your questions about my experience with cutting out refined sugar—and what the science suggests about food, restriction, cutting out food groups, and the “all or nothing” mindsets.

We'll explore:

• My personal experience with eliminating refined sugars and its psychological effects.
• How restrictive eating can reinforce rigid or perfectionistic thinking.
• The science on dietary restriction and its impact on long-term eating behaviours.
• Why “all or nothing” approaches  backfire.
• More flexible, sustainable strategies supported by research.

This episode bridges personal experience with academic insight, highlighting both the challenges and the unintended consequences of overly restrictive dietary approaches!
