  Stop Dieting and Start Enjoying Food: A Beginner’s Guide to Mindful Eating If you have ever cycled through restrictive diets like keto, paleo, or intermittent fasting only to find yourself exhausted and caught in a binge-restrict cycle, you are not alone.

It sounds technical, but it is actually something your body does every single day. Whenever you move, breathe, or even sleep, your body needs fuel. Fat is one of the main sources of that fuel. When you eat food, your body stores extra energy as fat. This is normal and healthy. Later, when your body needs energy, it breaks down that stored fat.

If you eat a lot of sugary foods, your body will mostly use sugar for energy. If you move more and eat balanced meals, your body becomes better at...
