Erin had spent her life doing things "right".She followed the rules."Eat less, move more". "Track your calories". All of it.But it was when Erin's health took a dramatic turn for the worse that she really woke up to the fact that everything she'd learned was wrong. She'd spent her career in the fitness industry, and she realized that what she'd been telling people was wrong.So she dove into the research, healed herself, and became passionate about teaching people the true biochemical workings of metabolism. At the age of 37, Erin graduated with a diploma in Holistic Nutrition. And in this episode, we talk about the things that don't work... the same old things you've heard before from the diet culture and that have precious little to do with how much we eat or move.A lot of what we discuss in this episode is very difficult for people to wrap their heads around. We do a little mythbusting, and we reject a lot of the conventional wisdom about weight loss, metabolism, and achieving an effortless relationship with food.Find Erin here: https://www.eatsimple.ca/Get lots more practical tips and valuable resources about sugar and gut health from Netta here:To be part of our lovely encouraging group and get support and accountability to live your healthier life without needing sugar, join us in the the After Sugar Club today!To get rid of cravings, especially if you're an intermittent faster, download your 5 tips here.Also check out the Life After Sugar Facebook page, and subscribe to my Instagram account and to the Life After Sugar YouTube channel.To rate and review this podcast: scroll down in your podcast player on your phone and click on the stars.
