So you've tried to diet your way to control, but instead, you end up feeling more out of control than ever. Why is that?

It's not just about willpower or "falling off track." Dieting actually dysregulates your entire system — your hunger cues, your emotions, your hormones, even your nervous system. The very rules you're following are what cause you to swing back and forth on the pendulum: restrict, rebel, repeat.

In episode 257 of Fitness & Sushi, we'll show you why dieting keeps you stuck in chaos, and how to finally break free by learning to stay regulated instead.

In this episode — "How Dieting Dysregulates Your Body and Mind (And What to Do Instead)" — you'll learn…

🔶 What "dysregulation" really means and how it shows up in your nervous system, emotions, and hunger signals

🔶 The hormonal chain reaction that dieting sets off (leptin, cortisol, and why your body craves sugar and carbs)

🔶 How pushing harder in workouts leads to burnout and keeps you stuck in the pendulum swing

🔶 Why a scarcity mindset around food guarantees rebellion, overeating, and loss of control

🔶 The exact pillars that keep you physically, emotionally, and psychologically regulated — Permission, Intention, and Enjoyment

🔶 Why my pendulum metaphor may make you want to clean your ceiling fan 🤦🏻‍♀️

…and much more!
