Summary
Ep 119. What if the key to weight loss isn’t actually about what’s on our plates? Today I’m chatting with a true gem of a human being as well as a kick-ass nutritionist. Nicki Parlitsis helps her clients achieve their goals but also understand WHY they might be harming themselves with food through binging or restricted diets. In this episode she unpacks how binging is often a deeper reflection on our lives, showing us exactly what we need to focus on within ourselves to ultimately heal our relationship with food. We also discuss why binging is both an emotional AND physical response for many of us and how we can tune into the signs our bodies are giving us before we start to go down toxic paths.
HERE’S THE JUICE:
-
The difference between physical and emotional binge eating
-
Why women tend to fear gaining muscle and what it actually means to “tone” your body
-
The importance of training your brain in steps and why intuitive eating is a graduate level course in dietetics
-
What an all-or-nothing mindset with food looks like and how it contributes to binge eating
-
The fact that something as simple as thinking about meals as events can help retrain your brain to get out of a snacking mindset and into a space of intentional eating
-
Nicki’s favorite client hack of meal prepping like a chef
-
Why binge eating is not the problem and how to get to the root of what’s happening in your body
-
Why listening to your hunger cues is the first step to take even if it means abandoning your diet

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to What's the Deuce podcast. I'm here today with Nikki Parlixtis, who is an |
| 0:08.5 | RD working with Michelle Shapiro, serving clients with disordered eating, gut issues, and body |
| 0:14.5 | composition goals. She's been on her own five-year strength training journey with a history |
| 0:19.6 | of disordered eating and gut issues herself. |
| 0:22.1 | So she's extremely passionate about this intersection between fitness, nutrition, and your |
| 0:27.6 | overall relationship with food and things that can get a little bit tricky when you're |
| 0:31.8 | making changes like binge eating and other kind of disordered eating tendencies that can |
| 0:36.6 | come back when you are trying |
| 0:38.0 | to hit some goals. Today we're going to dive into a common problem that many of us are struggling |
| 0:43.7 | with as we work to improve our health and our fitness, which is that essentially there's a good |
| 0:49.2 | reason to optimize our body composition. There's so many benefits in getting fit, in increasing our muscle |
| 0:55.3 | mass. We know that it's really good for our hormone health. It's good to prevent insulin |
| 0:59.0 | resistance. It's good to help us be equipped to take care of ourselves as we age and need to be |
| 1:04.1 | mobile. So getting fit and building muscle and changing your body composition is a worthy goal |
| 1:09.7 | to embark upon. |
| 1:16.4 | But it can easily become a slippery slope and feel like a diet all over again, |
| 1:19.9 | especially when it may even require a full diet change, which can absolutely be concerning for those with a history of disordered eating |
| 1:23.6 | who have already been harmed by diet culture. |
| 1:26.5 | So in this episode, we're going to chat about |
| 1:28.4 | how to tow that line between making specific and intentional changes with the goal of improving |
| 1:34.0 | our fitness without spiraling into a mindset where our fitness and our aesthetics are the most |
| 1:39.8 | important thing in life and thus might trigger a disordered relationship with food all over again. |
