TWV Podcast Episode 465: Too Many Food Restrictions?

This week on The Whole View Podcast, Stacy and I answer listener Sandy’s question about feeling overwhelmed by food restrictions. We first discuss some of the mindset challenges of elimination diets like the Autoimmune Protocol and share some strategies to shift to a more positive outlook, as well as food exploration, recipe resources, treat mentality, simple swaps, knowing your currency, and the learning curve aspect. We also discuss some of the common pitfalls that lead to too many unnecessary restrictions to help you avoid them!
