[Repost] #190: Why Intuitive Eating Is NOT a Diet with Caroline Dooner, Diet-Recovery Coach and Author of The "F" It Diet
01:30:04 Share

Fellow author and podcaster Caroline Dooner returns! We discuss her new book, The F*ck It Diet: Eating Should Be Easy, why mental deprivation is just as much of a problem as physical deprivation, why people often treat intuitive eating as another diet (and why that’s wrong), the essential role of rest in healing our relationship with movement, why focusing on fullness can be problematic, and so much more! Plus, Christy answers a listener question about whether a certain model of treatment for binge-eating disorder is actually making the problem worse. (This episode was originally published on March 25, 2019.)

Caroline is the creator of The Fck It Diet, where she teaches chronic dieters how to heal their relationship with food and weight. Caroline recently released her first book, The Fck It Diet: Eating Should Be Easy. Find her online right here).
