Episode 3155:
Chalene Johnson shares five parenting habits that quietly shape how a child sees food and their own body, from labeling and comparison to policing what lands on the plate. She explains why calling foods good or bad teaches kids to sort themselves the same way, and why a parent's own negative self-talk gets replayed for a lifetime. In a second article she lays out the three principles behind an exercise program that lasts: individual difference, overload, and adaptation avoidance.

Quotes to ponder:
"Whatever it is, it's like you're giving your child YOUR beliefs about body image."
"How were you labeled as a child? What labels are you passing on to your children? Remember, all of it sends a message."
"Ultimately, the exercise program that provides the best results is the one you'll do consistently and intensely."
