September 19, 2023286. Weight Loss: Gain Control of Emotional Eating & Overeating
Did you know the average adult will go on a diet nearly 160 times over the course of their life?
That’s 160 times we…
reach a breaking point with our bodies

choose the latest diet that promises results fast

struggle through rules, restrictions and frustrations

ultimately give up because it’s not realistic or sustainable

find ourselves back at square one feeling defeated
It’s no secret that we all have real goals for our bodies. But when our desire for change runs into fad diets, inconsistent eating habits, overeating and emotional eating we often find ourselves right back on the diet roller coaster all over again.
But what if you didn’t do that anymore?
On today’s episode, I have Sabrina Magnan, an Intuitive Eating Health Coach and host of the Live Unrestricted Podcast. And this topic is her specialty - helping chronic dieters find freedom from overeating, binge eating, emotional eating and food obsession by healing their relationship with food & their bodies.
If you’re always bouncing from one diet to the next, this episode is for you!
