The Thriving Metabolism: Weight Loss Beyond Diets

Stop Compulsive Eating for Good

Louise Digby Season 1 Episode 73

Are you stuck in a cycle of trying to eat "perfectly," only to end up binge eating and feeling guilty afterwards?

Do you find it nearly impossible to resist food temptations, even when you know better? 

In this episode, Harriet Morris, host of the Eating Coach podcast, joins us to unravel the complex relationship between our minds and our eating habits. We'll explore why knowledge alone isn't enough to change our eating behaviours and examine the hidden psychology behind compulsive and emotional eating. 

Harriet shares practical strategies for managing sugar cravings and walking away from temptation, as well as tips on how to break free from the guilt-shame cycle that often follows overeating. This conversation provides valuable insights for both those struggling with their own eating habits and those supporting loved ones.

Tune in for a fresh perspective on compulsive eating that goes beyond just willpower and diets. This episode might just be the key to unlocking lasting change in your eating habits.
