Have you ever felt discouraged by dieting?\\xa0

\\xa0

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.\\xa0

\\xa0

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\\u2019s a lot of negativity and guilt that comes with that and it makes it hard to just enjoy your life.\\xa0

\\xa0

In todays\\u2019 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.\\xa0

\\xa0

Elizabeth Harris is a dietitian and Intuitive Eating counselor. She\\u2019s passionate about empowering women to find food and body peace with Intuitive Eating and body image healing.\\xa0

\\xa0

By shifting the focus weight to wellbeing, Elizabeth helps women stop dieting and start living. Her motto is \\u201cself-care, not self-control.\\u201d Because food is meant to be enjoyed, movement should make you happy, and we\\u2019ve all got better things to do than count carbs!\\xa0

\\xa0

Elizabeth holds a Master\\u2019s degree in nutrition from the University of Southern California. She loves to hike, garden, read, and travel the world\\u2014hitting every farmers\\u2019 market along the way.

\\xa0

Don\\u2019t 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\\u2019s not what\\u2019s important.\\xa0

\\xa0

We all have difficult body image days, it\'s totally normal. It\\u2019s what you do with those days that\\u2019s important. Make sure to tune in to this episode to learn more about why dieting doesn\\u2019t work, why focusing on intuitive eating is biologically and psychologically healthier, the benefits of being weight-neutral, and so much more.\\xa0
