<p>Today I’m joined once again by the brilliant Shahroo Izadi for a conversation about dieting, binge eating, shame and why so many of us feel trapped in exhausting cycles with food.</p><br><p>We talk about her powerful new book, Why Diets Make Us Fat, and explore why restriction so often leads to overeating, why food becomes such an emotional coping mechanism, and how so many of us internalise the belief that our worth is tied to our body size.</p><br><p>What I love about Shahroo’s approach is that it’s incredibly compassionate, practical and free from judgment. This conversation is not about perfection or willpower. It’s about understanding behaviour, breaking shame cycles and learning how to make small sustainable changes that actually last.</p><br><p>Buy her book: <a href="https://amzn.eu/d/05FDoaqD" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.eu/d/05FDoaqD</a></p><br><p>Find Shahroo:</p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.shahrooizadi.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.shahrooizadi.co.uk/</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://open.acast.com/networks/63458a6cca24ff00120dd65b/shows/63458a6cca24ff00120dd658/episodes/@shahroo_izadi" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@shahroo_izadi</a></p><p>Books: <a href="https://www.shahrooizadi.co.uk/books" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.shahrooizadi.co.uk/books</a></p><p><strong>Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:</strong></p><p><strong>Instagram: </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/hurttohealingpod?igsh=aW9yeDl5OHV6bm9r&amp;utm_source=qr" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">instagram.com/hurttohealingpod</a></p><p><strong>TikTok: </strong><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpod?_t=ZN-8vFzLPIpcYQ&amp;_r=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpod</a></p><p><strong>LinkedIn: </strong><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healing/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healing</a></p><p><strong>Substack: </strong><a href="https://substack.com/@hurttohealing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">substack.com/@hurttohealing</a></p><p><strong>Website: </strong><a href="https://www.hurttohealing.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">hurttohealing.co.uk</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
