“Unnecessary calories”

Listen Later

What if unnecessary calories were one of the most necessary aspects of living a meaningful life? In today’s episode, Livia Sara explores the concept of “unnecessary calories” through a client’s fear of butter, revealing how this restrictive thinking is actually a manifestation of deeper existential fears. You’ll learn:

  • The hidden meaning behind labeling foods as having “unnecessary calories” and how it connects to the fear of being “wrong” in the world
  • Why diet culture’s contradictory messages can be particularly overwhelming for autistic individuals
  • How the scarcity mindset extends beyond food into every aspect of life, from productivity to pleasure
  • The powerful parallel between fearing “wasted” calories and fearing “wasted” time
  • How to start challenging the labels that keep you trapped in restrictive patterns
