Chronic dieters need to listen
I have been listening to the N&F podcast in order from the first episode while on my road trip. I have learned so much. The episode on why diets don’t work was just what I needed. My dietitian/disordered eating specialist has been trying to get me to understand this for months. Thank you Michelle for your podcast. It is very informative and extremely helpful.
