Unnecessarily Tight “Dietary Boundaries”

The tighter your dietary boundaries are, the worse the binge will likely be once you cross them.

What are dietary boundaries? The easiest way to understand them is to simply think of them as “good food vs bad food” thinking. Dietary boundaries are rooted in a way of thinking; a mindset.

The larger your “bad foods” list, the tighter your dietary boundaries automatically become; and how many diets teach this concept of good food vs bad food? The large majority – eat this, not that. It is not a belief system that can lead to sustainable progress.

Until you learn to eliminate your dietary boundaries by choosing to view food simply as food, food that has context and times you eat it and times you don’t – without labels of good vs bad – you’ll probably have a very difficult time ever being free from the dieting mindset or rather the Dieting Prison, the risk of regaining your lost weight/fat and thus, never truly experiencing long-term sustainable and maintainable progress.
