Diet Culture is BS

06-01-2023 • 17 mins

Cheat Meals.

Weight loss programs love to advertise that they offer cheat meals so you can continue to eat whatever you want while still losing weight. But does this strategy actually work?

There's a saying that if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. This saying is definitely accurate when it comes to cheat meals.

In this episode, I discuss the truth about cheat meals - which is that they offer false promises while simultaneously setting you up for failure. I talk about why they sound like a good idea in theory, but why in actuality, cheat meals increase your likelihood of overeating.

Finally, I tell you what you can do instead of dieting to get healthier and improve your relationship with food...WITHOUT needing cheat meals.
