#17: The Pendulum Analogy: End the On Again/Off Again Dieting with Intuitive Eating
Manage episode 451176871 series 3563959
In this episode of Make Peace with Food, Emily LaVoie introduces the concept of the pendulum analogy to explain the cycle of restrictive dieting and chaotic eating. She emphasizes the importance of finding balance within a healthy range, where food choices feel harmonious rather than extreme.
Emily addresses a common question: How long does it take to heal your relationship with food? She explains that timelines vary greatly from person to person. Some clients achieve significant progress within a few sessions, while others may need ongoing support over months or even years. The key is recognizing that everyone’s journey is unique, and there’s no “right” amount of time.
Throughout the episode, Emily shares real client stories to illustrate different paths toward food freedom. Whether clients need short-term guidance, long-term support, or occasional check-ins to vent about diet culture, her approach is adaptable to individual needs.
She concludes with an invitation for listeners to explore their own journey toward food peace by scheduling a free consultation. Emily encourages embracing progress at any pace and reminds listeners of the transformative power of finding balance.
