Multidimensional with Christina The Channel 273: Claire Siegel on How to Eat Intuitively, Love Your Body, and Stop Dieting Forever
Claire Siegel is a registered dietitian who’s all about balancing her real food, veggie-heavy approach to nutrition with her love of burgers, dark chocolate, and red wine. Before that, Claire spent a decade dieting - counting calories, tracking macros, logging points, and punishing herself through exercise. When she finally reached her goal weight, she still wasn't happy, so she learned to look inward to achieve the confidence she was after and saw how healing her relationship to food and her body had a positive ripple effect throughout the rest of her life. Claire founded Nutritional Freedom to help other women experience this same evolution and has helped hundreds of women through her Foundations program and Freedom membership.
In this episode, Claire discusses how to tell if you're dieting, what dieting really is, and how to stop dieting forever. We talk about food shaming, the pros and cons of the body positivity space, weight loss pressure in the bridal industry, and what to do if you're being faced with uncomfortable body comments. We discuss why Claire stopped being a Whole 30 coach, what intuitive eating really is, how to balance a health issue with intuitive eating, and the health at every size movement. Claire shares how to get comfortable with your body, tips for getting over body dysmorphia, and much more.
