67. Intuitive Eating vs. Intuitive Restriction Jul 27, 2023

Show notes

Have you ever seen someone sharing about intuitive eating and something just doesn't feel quite right? For example, they are telling you they are using it to lose weight or the amount of food they are eating doesn't seem like enough or they only eat "unprocessed" foods or the way there is describing it is different than you heard, but you don't know if it's your own bias or if it actually not intuitive eating. If yes, you are in the right place because this episode is going to clear up all the confusion. We're going to talk about all the situations listed while also going through signs that you may be "intuitively restricting" unintentionally.

61. Reverse Dieting - Fitness Scam or The Key to Body Recomposition? Jun 15, 2023

Show notes

At some point in time, I'm sure you've heard of reverse dieting. Reverse dieting is touted as a way to "train your metabolism" to be able to eat more food without gaining weight. It originally started out in the bodybuilding/weightlifting sphere of social media as physique competitors were searching for a way to recover from competitions. Recently, reverse dieting has started to sneak its way into the anti-diet/recovery space. So today we'll be talking about what reverse dieting actually is, the science behind it, whether or not it even belongs in the recovery space, and even the possible dangers of reverse dieting. We talk about:

What is reverse dieting and how did it originate
What are the claims about reverse dieting and are they true
What the research and evidence says
How this could effect different types of people differently (fitness professionals vs. dieters vs. people with disordered eating)
The key takeaways around the concept
