A lot of people who engage in dieting fall into two cycles pretty hard. A binge or restrict cycle is usually the two options people find themselves in. A binge eating cycle which involves lots of guilt, shame and morality towards food. Which usually results in uncomfortable eating episodes that feel fleeting or out of control. This cycle is usually fueled by a restriction state. This cycle is all about control, willpower and following rules to keep you “in control” with food. Neither of them feel truly stable or consistent. There are major extremes to both.

This episode explores the two cycles and the outcomes and intentions behind both. It also provides a third way to relate with food that is rooted in intuitive eating, neutrality and flexibility.
