Summary
Restricting is a bad thing to do when you binge eat, right? Well, sometimes, sometimes not. Not all restricting is the same and your intention behind it is everything.
In this episode, I'm breaking down the two types of restriction – beneficial and detrimental. I'm sure you're familiar with the detrimental one and now it's time to gain a little perspective for how restriction can actually be a good thing. Listen in so you can drop some of your fear around telling yourself no and limiting foods in your life.
