In this episode of the Undieted podcast, Melissa and Rebecca tackle some of the biggest diet myths, breaking down misconceptions about fats, carbohydrates, and emotional eating. They explore how diet culture has shaped our beliefs, why whole foods matter, and how to approach eating in a way that works for you.

From the impact of hormonal changes to the truth about macronutrient ratios, this conversation is all about cutting through the noise and embracing a more balanced, intuitive approach to food.

🔑 Key Takeaways:
✅ Eating fat does not make you fat – it's time to let go of that myth!
✅ Emotional eating is often linked to childhood experiences.
✅ Low-fat diets aren’t the best choice for everyone.
✅ Carbs are essential for energy – cutting them completely can do more harm than good.
✅ Whole foods > processed foods when it comes to long-term health.
✅ Many diet trends manipulate macronutrient ratios but don’t deliver sustainable results.
✅ Everyone’s dietary needs are different – there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.
✅ Cortisol is a natural hormone – you can manage stress but not eliminate it.
✅ Intuitive eating can help heal your relationship with food.
✅ Focus on how food makes you feel rather than obsessing over numbers.
