    Ep 218. Breaking The All Or Nothing Diet Mentality with Michele McAlister RD (revisited)

    This is a great episode from June 2024. Well worth another listen. Enjoy! An eating pattern or diet that works for you, may not work for your friend. There’s bio-individuality around body functions, behaviors and daily habits that affect our health. With the 'diet du jour' with social media trends, the ‘all or nothing’ thinking of starting a perfect eating plan and getting thrown off schedule, is a common issue that many people have when embarking on a new diet or lifestyle change. Black and white thinking and all or nothing thoughts can keep you stuck in procrastination and the cycle of negativity. Today, we discuss these common struggles for people who are looking to improve their health and change the way they have tried behaviour change in the past. Dietitian Michele McAlister, RD from Bite by Byte Nutrition Consulting (⁠bitebybytenc.com⁠) discusses the problems with all or nothing thinking, overeating, cravings, and strategies to help reduce stress eating. You can also follow Michele on ⁠Instagram⁠. Check out the blog article ⁠here⁠. Enjoying the show?
