Nourish for Balance, Not Numbers
Restrictive diets that eliminate processed foods and gluten can lead to under-eating, creating a cycle that may contribute to binge eating disorders. When individuals do not track their food intake, they risk significant hunger, particularly during nighttime, which can exacerbate unhealthy eating patterns. The challenge of detaching from the scale often arises; individuals may resist moving away from constant weight measurement. A helpful approach is to redirect focus from weight to strength training, emphasizing improvements in performance and metabolic function. This strategy shifts the conversation toward positive physical changes, such as increased strength and improved physique, rather than solely weight monitoring.
