Avoiding Unconscious Eating
Show Notes Chapter Markers

Everyone who's ever tried to work on their nutritions has had the experience of eating something and then feeling guilty because it didn't fit their diet or match their goals.

Yup, it happens to us too.

The thing is, we're complicated organisms, and we spend a lot of our time operating on instinct. We build up habits and routines, and we spend our days on autopilot, so should we really be surprised if we end up eating what we usually eat instead of what we know is best for us?

In this episode, Ryan and Josh look at how to eat what fits your goals, even when you don't want to. We take a look at internal vs external motivation, and how changing how you think about your goals could make all of the difference. Lastly, we put it all together with eating guidelines and skills that you can implement this week, to more effectively make food choices, in the moment.

If you've wondered how GMB's Eating Skills course works, this episode is a great preview of the Skills themselves and the overall approach and psychology involved.
