episode 151: the science of change (aka why quick fixes never work)
Today’s episode of The Diet Diaries is a follow up to last week and talks all about how change actually happens in our brains and bodies including how we lose fat and develop more body confidence.
How do we improve body confidence?
Understanding the science of how humans adapt is essential to making changes to our habits and behaviors around eating, exercise and self care.

And is a HUGE reason why we’re all stuck in the yo yo diet cycle, hating how we look and endlessly struggling with negative body image.
Graded exposure is an evidence based approach to adaptation that is used in many therapies and treatments…but for some reason when it comes to anything about what, why and how we eat and how we look we always think the all or nothing approach is the answer.
So today I’m breaking down the steps you need to go through to create true, permanent change around eating, body confidence and body image insecurities.
