Episode 56: Diet Culture and Confident Eating Nov 08, 2020

Show notes

I've worked with 100‘s of women and had 1000's of conversations, and a lot think they are not dieting.

But when we dig into their relationship with food, they realise that they are pursuing “wellness” or “health” in a way that looks very much like a diet.

Basically diet culture erodes trust.

In the search for the “right” way we have stopped listening to our bodies. We aren’t confident eaters.

In today's episode I talk about diet culture, how it has affected our relationship to food, what confident eaters may do, and what the "work" to become a confident eater looks like.
