“If you're hungry, you need and deserve to eat. So choose food that's satisfying and give yourself unconditional permission to eat the food and to actually enjoy it.” - Katy Harvey
Welcome to another episode of Rebuilding Trust With Your Body podcast! I really wanted today’s episode to be something that's really tangible and action oriented for you all. Because while it’s great that we talk about the concepts and its importance in ditching diet culture and pursuing freedom, it’s also really important that we talk about how to go about doing that and how to rebuild trust with your body. So today, I'm going to give you my five simple steps for reconnecting with your hunger and your fullness. We're going to talk about those appetite cues that we should pay more attention to. And just like the previous episodes, make sure to listen until the end and download my free guide!
