I’d argue a good chunk of the population. Let’s say 90% of people know if they eat less they’ll get better results.The other 10% still believe that starvation myth, hormones, metabolism, and all that junk is what’s holding them backToday, instead of telling you to eat less and move more we’re going to aim to fix your relationship with food once and for all, to help you make better food decisions.1- Be aware of the times you actually struggle2- Add Before You Subtract3- Use food as fuel4- Build non-food sources of dopamine5- Eat foods you love that are also good for you6- Add more predictable structure7- Avoid the all or nothing mentalityThanks for listening!
