Do you believe that to lose weight, all you need is will power and a little self-control?

If you answered yes, you're not alone. Most people truly believe that lack of willpower is THE thing that's holding them back in their health/wellness journey, but I can almost guarantee you, that's not the case.

That's why, today we're going to talk about what willpower even is, whether or not it's something that can be developed/strengthened over time, and how it impacts your ability to become an intuitive eater.

Are you truly at a GOOD place when it comes to your relationship with food, exercise, and your body?

Maybe you identify as an intuitive eater, and you're ready to step further into the gentle nutrition stage.

If this sounds like you, then you're going to want to stick around for today's episode.

Joining me today is Emily Field. Emily is a Registered Dietitian who teaches a mindful macros approach to help women ditch nonsense food rules and depriving diet behaviors - for good. Her clients are finding it liberating to focus on how much they can do, instead of how much they weigh, when they fuel and support their body appropriately.

Feeling motivated to pursue some health and fitness goals as we step into a fresh new year?

If you answered yes, you might be asking yourself, "How can I pursue these goals without getting caught up in the number on the scale? or "How can I recognize and avoid diet-y programs?"

That's why in today's episode, I'm uncovering the biggest diet trap of 2021 -- the wellness diet.

You see, the wellness diet is actually just restriction and dieting packaged up and disguised as a 'healthy lifestyle change.' Listen in as I breakdown how you can spot this (and any!) diet in disguise.

Plus, learn about how you can cope with that 'loss of control' feeling that often comes up as we ditch dieting. And catch 10 new year resolution ideas that will help support your journey to achieving a healthier relationship with food and your body.

Could you be dieting without even knowing it??

Now, you might be saying, "Heck no, Katie, I ditched dieting a long time ago!"

If this sounds like you, I want you to know that I'm so proud of you for drawing that line in the sand and swearing off dieting for good. But I also want you to know that the journey away from dieting is rarely linear.

It's so important for us to understand that diet-like behaviors can be sneaky, especially in this weight loss-crazed world that we live in. That's why today I'm uncovering 5 signs that you might still be dieting.

'Tis the season for holiday meals with loved ones! While it's the most wonderful time of the year, there are some common struggles that I see my clients facing around the holiday dinner table.

These struggles usually come down to one thing: food rules.

As we embrace the intuitive eating approach, we tend to begin to free ourselves from rigid food rules. However, sometimes not all of our family and friends are on board. They might try to impose their own food rules upon us and even make comments about how much we're eating or whether we reach for dessert.

That's why today, I'm chatting about how to navigate food rules. Listen in as I share a few tips that will help you stick up for your food choices and set boundaries when it comes to food and your health throughout the holiday season and beyond.
