I’m sitting down and talking with Bridget Shannon & Dana Barron of Wellness Lately. We get kind of fired up as we’re passionately talking about diet culture today - we do use some choice words in this episode so be sure to use ear muffs for the littles!

In this episode:

-Why dieting is NEVER the solution to your problems

-How a restrictive mindset can lead to over-eating

-What is a “normal eater”?

-Is it food fear or fear of gaining weight?

-Concrete ways to increase body confidence

-The “lie” of dieting

-Why they have a zero tolerance policy with before and after photos

-Criticizing the culture vs. personal attack

-Why Weight Watchers is problematic

-Is your hunger really the problem?

-Rebuilding trust with our bodies

-How “wellness” has become co-opted by the diet industry

-The fear of gaining weight

-Why weight gain feels like a failure (and why it’s a lie)

-Science behind why diets don’t work

-Weight set point theory
