I stopped dieting, which, after all those years, was quite difficult, and I began to learn about nutrition. I did sign up for nutritional programs, but not where they were very restrictive or not where they cut out a food group or anything like that. So I guess I've empowered myself and I've now found my freedom and my peace.
What if your 19th birthday gift was the start of a lifelong struggle? For Deirdre Coyne, a slimming club membership marked the beginning of over 30 years of yo-yo dieting. In this candid episode, Deirdre opens up about her journey through countless diets, from low-fat regimes to milkshake plans, and the endless cycle of losing and regaining weight. She paints a vivid picture of her weekly trips to weight loss clubs and the temporary highs followed by inevitable setbacks.
But this story isn't just about struggle; it's about transformation. In her 50s, Deirdre decided enough was enough. She ditched the diets and turned to nutritional education. Instead of restrictive programs, she sought balanced approaches that didn't demonize any food group. This shift not only brought her peace but also led her to become a qualified eating freely practitioner.
Now, Deirdre shares her wisdom and experience, encouraging others to break free from food obsession and embrace a healthier relationship with eating. Tune in to hear how she found freedom and how you can too.
