For the newbies

There is a common theme I have seen on here as well as other groups I've been to in the past.

Someone (usually new to IE) writes in with frustration that they can't stop eating.

Overwhelming response "it's normal, keep doing it". I feel as though this is very dismissive. We are often not telling them WHY it is likely happening. Nor are we telling them HOW to grow and learn from the experience. Spoiler alert: it's different for each person.

There is A LOT of inner work that comes with IE. If all you do is mindlessly eat everything in huge quantities without doing the work - you're missing the point.

I know I'm going to get hate, I dont care. Too many are giving advice that only focuses on one step and even that, not giving people the additional tools to get through this principle of allowing all foods.

Yes, we need to allow foods to de-charm them. This is a CRUCIAL step. But so are all of the other principles. There is a way to do this mindfully that is kind to your body.

Before dismissing someone, ask them about themselves and their journey. Or, provide a resource.
