Ready to let go of dieting but not quite sure where to start?
In today’s episode of the Nourished with PCOS Podcast, Sam is joined by fellow registered dietitian Colleen Christensen to discuss all of the ways intuitive eating and letting go of dieting can improve health.
We begin the episode by getting to know Colleen and hearing her story of how she became a non-diet registered dietitian. She shares how she felt the need for control while she was in college and that led to disordered eating and binge eating. Through healing and finding balance, Colleen now helps others on that same path.
Sam and Colleen explore how mindset and self-talk can set the foundation for this eating style, why a little structure can still be intuitive, and the importance of meeting yourself where you are on your journey. Colleen also brings to light how humor and social interaction can influence our nutrition choices, and the significance of understanding our bodies, especially when navigating conditions like PCOS and insulin resistance.
In this episode, Sam and Colleen also discuss:
- How you can take a non-diet approach to nutrition even with a medical condition like PCOS.
- Misconceptions about intuitive eating.
- Colleen’s top tip if you’re ready to let go of dieting.
Whether you’re dealing with PCOS symptoms, transitioning from a dieting mindset, or simply looking for a healthier relationship with food, this episode is full of advice around creating a embracing a non-diet approach to nutrition.
