Cake over Keto: Episode 12 - What to do with fearing fullness.

Feeling full can create some challenging feelings. We've been conditioned by diet culture to associate fullness with greed and a loss of self-control. And in order to regain this control (or a sense of it anyway), we start to restrict our intake of food, avoiding that feeling of fullness at all costs.

Eventually we forget what it feels like to eat a hearty, satisfying meal and have a full tummy.  This restrictive behaviour becomes our default way of living which can result in all sorts of gut issues that only go to reinforce that eating is not something good to do. And the cycle continues.

In this episode, Mel delves into that fear of fullness; where it comes from, what it means and ultimately how we can start to let go of that fear*

*Spoiler alert, it’s all good!
