Show Notes

Mistakes covered in this episode include focusing too much on forbidden foods, relying solely on willpower, using overly restrictive diets, getting caught in a cycle of self-blame, and not prioritizing sleep.

- The episode emphasizes developing a positive relationship with food, listening to your body's signals, getting creative with healthy alternatives, practicing self-love and gratitude, letting go of guilt, and optimizing sleep habit.

Key Takeaways:

• Avoid labeling foods as "good" or "bad" and banning entire food groups. This leads to cravings and binge eating
