#257: If You Want Food to Have LESS Power Over You, Stop Doing This

Have you ever wondered why certain foods have SO much power over you? You tell yourself you shouldn't eat the cookies...and suddenly you can't stop thinking about them. You eat something you consider "unhealthy" and spend the rest of the day feeling guilty. You make the "healthy" choice and feel proud of yourself for being good. Here's the problem: the more moral meaning you assign to food, the more power it has over you. In this episode, we're talking about FOOD NEUTRALITY and why letting go of "good" and "bad" food labels is about so much more than changing your vocabulary - it's about rewiring your brain to think, feel and behave differently with food.  This is one of the most essential and non-negotiable concepts that I teach. Buckle up, and let's go!!!   Episode Highlights -Why trying to control certain foods can actually make you feel MORE out of control around them -The judgments you're still attaching to your food choices that are sabotaging your intuitive eating journey -Why food neutrality does NOT mean pretending all foods are nutritionally identical -How to care about nutrition without using guilt, fear or morality to guide your choices -What it actually looks like when food starts to lose its power over you   Today's Wellness Woo is the women's fitness industry.   Resources Mentioned: - Join Stepping Off The Dieting Rollercoaster - Starts Aug 31!   Read the full episode show notes here.   Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey: -Join Katy's Intuitive Eating Made Easy Facebook Group! -Work with Katy -Join Katy's weekly email newsletter -Free Guide: Stop the Constant Food Obsession   Connect with Katy Harvey: Website Instagram Facebook   Subscribe and Review   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!
