## Resource

Episode Overview If you've spent any time on social media lately, you've probably heard it: "If you want to lose weight, you need to eat more, not less!" Sometimes that advice is helpful. And sometimes it completely misses the mark… and keeps you stuck. In this episode, Annie and Jen break down the two very different situations that get lumped into the "eat more" message, and why knowing which one you're in matters. Because for a lot of women, the issue isn't undereating. It's chaotic eating patterns that swing between restriction and overeating. If you've ever felt out of control with food, stuck in a cycle of starting over, or confused by all the conflicting "eat more" and "eat less" advice online, this episode will help you zoom out and make sense of it.
