This study says it all...restriction always backfires!

The Minnesota Starvation Study is one of the clearest reminders that restriction does the opposite of what we’re told it should do. In this episode, I walk through what the study actually showed—how prolonged restriction led to intense food obsession, mood changes, loss of focus, and eating that felt “out of control” once food was available again. This isn’t a willpower problem. It’s your body doing its job. If you’ve ever wondered why food noise gets louder the more you try to control it, this episode helps connect the dots with clarity and compassion. And if you’re ready to move toward real food freedom and body trust, there’s supportive next steps available at JamieTheDietitian.com.
