Welcome to The Forking Truth!

In this liberating conversation, Dr. Nina Savelle-Rocklin and Dr Alisa Karmel tackle the most pervasive—and harmful—food rules that keep us trapped in cycles of guilt, deprivation, and bingeing.

From demonizing carbs and sugar to the pressure of the “Clean Your Plate Club” and the false promise of clean eating, they dismantle each myth with science, compassion, and real-life examples.

Rather than prescribing another restrictive diet, the doctors invite you to rediscover the joy of eating, listen to your body’s wisdom, and build a healthier, more intuitive relationship with food.

Key Takeaways

• Carbs Aren’t the Enemy: Whole grains, fruits, and starchy veggies are essential fuels—not villains.
• Deprivation Backfires: Strict rules lead to cravings and binge-eating cycles.
• Intuitive Eating Works: Tuning into hunger and fullness cues fosters balance and satisfaction.
• Portion Control vs. Clean Plate: Forcing yourself to finish every bite can override your body’s signals.
• Sugar in Context: Natural sweetness isn’t addictive—context and mindset matter more.
• The Clean Eating Trap: Obsessing over “pure” foods often results in joyless, bland meals.
• Food Should Delight You: Pleasure is a vital part of nourishment and well-being.
• Break the Rules: Challenging restrictive beliefs opens the door to lasting freedom.
• Practice Makes Progress: Intuitive eating is a skill you develop over time—be patient.
