109: How to Shift Your Focus From Weight to Wellbeing with Elizabeth Harris

Have you ever felt discouraged by dieting?

Many of us have been there. We are unhappy with the number on the scale so we start restricting and dieting in hopes that we will reach that magical number that will make us feel happy and worthy.

Diets detract from our health and wellbeing in a different way. Instead of being fully present and in the moment with our loved ones, we are in our heads worrying about our diet. There's a lot of negativity and guilt that comes with that and it makes it hard to just enjoy your life.

In todays' episode of Leading Lady, I sat down with Elizabeth Harris to talk more about the harmful aspects of dieting and the impact of intuitive eating.

Elizabeth Harris is a dietitian and Intuitive Eating counselor. She's passionate about empowering women to find food and body peace with Intuitive Eating and body image healing.

By shifting the focus weight to wellbeing, Elizabeth helps women stop dieting and start living. Her motto is "self-care, not self-control." Because food is meant to be enjoyed, movement should make you happy, and we've all got better things to do than count carbs!

Elizabeth holds a Master's degree in nutrition from the University of Southern California. She loves to hike, garden, read, and travel the world—hitting every farmers' market along the way.

Don't accept the premise that weight equals health! That is all diet culture trying to tell you that you need to be a certain way but that's not what's important.

We all have difficult body image days, it's totally normal. It's what you do with those days that's important. Make sure to tune in to this episode to learn more about why dieting doesn't work, why focusing on intuitive eating is biologically and psychologically healthier, the benefits of being weight-neutral, and so much more.
