Do you ever feel so guilty for eating that it completely ruins your day? Food guilt is not something we are born with – quite the opposite actually! However, guilt relating to food is learnt from a young age and can persist throughout our lifetime if we don't challenge it. If you're experiencing guilt after eating, it means you've broken one of your food rules. These are the arbitrary laws we live by when we're in a dieting mentality that tell us some ways of eating are good, and some are bad. In today's episode, Ariana and Cassie share their top three tips to move away from food guilt and continue on your journey towards food freedom.  For more juicy tips download your FREE ebook at https://www.embodyhealthlondon.com/freebies/ Follow us on Instagram.com/embodyhealthlondon_ Follow us on tiktok.com/embodyhealthldn Follow us on twitter.com/embodyhealthldn Follow us on facebook.com/embodyhealthldn

You only need to scroll so far on any form of self-proclaimed fitness or “wellness” social media account to be bombarded with the message of “calories in, calories out”. We are told that if we “eat less” and “move more” the idealised body that we are sold within Instagram squares is ours. All we need to do is engage in endless counting and stay in near constant motion. This notion fundamentally oversimplifies the determinants of energy balance, removes any sense of bodily intuition or knowledge – and, in so doing, almost roboticizes us. It preaches that our bodies are metabolically standardised and that we are all the same in how we process and assimilate every single micromanaged morsel - but we're not! In this episode, Cassie and Ariana share their top four tips to help you move away from calorie counting, feel more empowered around food and start trusting your body again.  Even if you have deleted every calorie tracking app, they share tips on how to shift your mindset to prevent staying stuck pseudo-dieting.  We hope you enjoy the episode!
