If you’ve ever eaten an entire row of Oreos and thought, “I can’t be trusted around food,” you’re not doing intuitive eating wrong. Here’s what’s actually happening.

If you can’t stop eating Oreos once you start, you don’t have a willpower problem, you have a restriction problem. In this episode, we break down why forbidden foods have so much power over you, and what it actually takes to make peace with them.

If you’ve ever told yourself “I can’t keep cookies in the house because I’ll eat the whole package,” this episode is going to challenge that story. The problem isn’t your willpower or your relationship with Oreos, it’s a fundamental misunderstanding of what intuitive eating actually is. True intuitive eating doesn’t lead to out-of-control binges. If that’s your experience, it means you haven’t gotten there yet. And the surprising path forward? You have to eat the Oreos.
