Quiz- Food Freedom

You value structure, predictability, and knowing exactly what to expect. When it comes to food, that often means following a set of rules—whether they’re from a diet you tried years ago, something you saw online, or guidelines you’ve created over time. These rules might have once helped you feel more in control, but over time, they can start to feel restrictive, stressful, or even guilt-inducing.

As a Rule Follower, you might find yourself:

• Tracking every calorie or macro
• Feeling uneasy when you eat something “off-plan”
• Comparing your meals to others and adjusting accordingly
• Struggling to eat intuitively without guilt or second-guessing

The truth is, your desire for structure isn’t a flaw—it’s a strength. But the kind of structure that supports food freedom looks different. Instead of rigid rules, think of flexible guidelines. Instead of shame, think curiosity. Your path forward is all about recognizing which rules are helping you, which ones are harming you, and how to replace them with affirmations and habits grounded in self-trust.

What to focus on next:

• Start by identifying and questioning your current food rules. Ask: “Where did this rule come from?” and “Is this truly serving me?”
• Use the Recognize Your Food Rules worksheet to reflect on how those rules are shaping your choices—and your stress levels.
• Experiment with letting go of just one rule this week. Observe how you feel physically and emotionally.

Your strengths: You are committed, dependable, and thoughtful. You do well with routines and can stick to a plan. That same skillset will help you shift into a more supportive, trusting relationship with food.

Your challenge: Loosening your grip on food control can feel scary. But by practicing flexibility in small, safe ways, you’ll build resilience and reduce the emotional burden of food decisions.

You’ve spent enough time with food rules—and you’re over it. After years of being told what to eat, when to eat, and how to feel about food, you’ve had it. Maybe you’ve even tried to follow the rules but found yourself constantly swinging between being “on track” and “off the rails.”

This pendulum swing is common after chronic dieting. It’s your body and brain rebelling against restriction—and it makes total sense. But true food freedom isn’t about throwing caution to the wind either. It’s about learning to respond rather than react. It’s about making food choices that feel good—not just in the moment, but hours later, too.

As a Rebel Eater, you might find yourself:

• Eating foods just because they’re “off limits”
• Feeling disconnected from hunger or fullness
• Struggling with binge-restrict cycles
• Wanting to eat more intuitively but unsure how

What to focus on next:

• Use tools that help you pause and reflect before meals, like the Mindful Eating Prompts.
• Reconnect with your body’s signals using the Hunger & Satisfaction Scale.
• Practice curiosity without judgment: “What am I feeling? What do I need?”

Your strengths: You’re passionate, independent, and not afraid to break the mold. You value freedom and authenticity, and you have a strong inner compass when you learn to tune in.

Your challenge: Slowing down and trusting your body again. This takes time and patience—but it’s 100% possible and incredibly worth it.
