Hi Fit Fam, 

I hope you all are happy and healthy, 

Breaking free from restrictive eating can be a challenging process, but it is also an incredibly rewarding one. Understanding the emotional, psychological, and environmental triggers that lead to restrictive eating can help you develop a more mindful approach to food and eating. 

So how can you break free? Let’s find out.

Firstly, replace your dieting mindset with an intuitive one.

1. Before you eat something ask yourself, ‘Will this nourish my body? Instead of will this help me lose weight?’
2. Work out so you can feel good and not to reward yourself with food. 
3. Eat what you want rather than beating your cravings with something you don’t want.
4. Instead of eating with shame, eat with enjoyment.
5. Ask yourself “do I want to eat this?” Rather than, “can I eat this?”

Follow these tips to slowly and gradually break free from restrictive eating.
