How Can Dieting Lead To Eating Disorders
We all start a new diet with good intentions - wanting to make a positive change to our health, wellness and physical fitness.
But it is common for dieting to lead down the road towards emotional relationships with food and eating disorders. By some estimates, as few as 5% of people who lose weight by dieting are able to keep it off, and as many as 25% of people who start a diet can end up with an eating disorder.
Let's take a look at how that can happen and what we can do instead of dieting.

Intuitive Eating For Men
Let's talk about intuitive eating for men.
It's one of the best known tools that dietitian use when helping people improve their relationship with food is often an important part of recovering from an eating disorder.
But if you look online, a lot of the content around intuitive eating is more geared towards women. Not that there is anything wrong with that - eating disorders tend to affect women much more than men overall.
But I wanted to talk a little bit about intuitive eating for men as well and that's what we're up to in this episode.
