What is the diet binge cycle - a period of feeling in control around food followed by a period of feeling out of control around food (the force compels me) What a diet really is Why the diet binge cycle using gets worse over time with each consecutive diet The thought patterns behind behaviors around food Dieting as a state of mind How IE can be a diet if you’re approaching it from diet mentality Looking at food as a thing that I use to try to control my weight Fear based relationship with food Why it’s important to get to the root of your anxiety around food rather than just “fix” the behaviors Dieting is not trendy. What is trendy is “lose weight through this other non-dieting way” Why the way we approach supporting physical health is super important How to make choices that support your health that are not rooted in diet mentality Why it separating weight from health is number one Why gentle nutrition needs to be on the back burner for the beginning of your journey Why there is a need for perspective shift in managing chronic disease through an anti-diet approach Why there is not an easy answer to “how long will it take to heal from the diet/binge cycle?” How most people have one foot in and one foot out of diet recovery How eating disorders are really anxiety disorders Feeling stuck in recovery and why support is so helpful Find Isabel on isabelfoxenduke.com
