Summary

In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we unpack the diet culture beliefs that may actually be sabotaging long-term weight loss success. Joined by Toronto-based psychotherapist Brian Baumal, we explore how urgency, perfectionism, and all-or-nothing thinking keep people stuck in the diet cycle. We also discuss how to approach setbacks more constructively, use the scale without spiraling, and build habits that are grounded in flexibility rather than punishment.
