Why You Feel Out Of Control Around Food

It’s all too common for people to diet for years in an attempt to exert some sort of control over their eating habits. 

What ends up happening when we try to “control” our food choices to be “perfect”, to “eat clean all the time”, to get our diet “right”, etc. is we get stuck in the dieting cycle of going all in and then going all out.  Below are some of the most common diet-based habits and tendencies that cause a loss of control around food:

• Labelling food as ‘bad’ or ‘off limits’ 
• Eating too fast and not checking in 
• Not honouring your emotional state 
• Embodying extremes: all-in or all-out 
• Eating while distracted or mindlessly 
• Not eating enough nourishment 

How to Feel in Control Around Food 

With all this being said, how do we change? How do we prevent the cycle from continuing? 

In order to break the diet cycle of control, a balanced relationship with food needs to be developed. One that incorporates mindfulness as well as science. One that allows you to eat food that not only nourishes you but also brings you joy. 

This balanced relationship with food is what we teach you how to achieve at RTH.
