Resources for a female client in her mid-30s with a history of a bad relationship with food, past eating disorders, and a focus on improving her relationship with food (not tracking in an app but writing down notes for protein and whole food) while still not completely adhering to a whole food diet. She has been eating low calories for years, experiencing classic cycles of over-exercising and then bingeing. Although she has had significant wins with her eating habits, she has gained weight and wants to cut. Is it too early to cut calories? Should she try cutting out alcohol and then transitioning completely to a whole food diet? Will she start to lose weight as she continues to improve her relationship with food? Resources and guidance on this situation are needed.
