Fierce Fatty Podcast

Diabetes! High blood pressure! Joint pain! Sleep apnea! Surely these are all things that can only be avoided by not being fat and treated primarily by being on a diet? Yeah, we all know that dieting doesn’t work, but what if you NEED to lose weight for health or mobility reasons? Summer Innanen and I talk about that today in our last Death to Diets episode and also share the 2 reasons why you may choose to go on a diet or intentionally lose weight.

With the revelations about Lindo Bacon surfacing some folks have had mixed feelings on how to feel or act especially if they don’t want to “cancel” Lindo. In this episode, I am breaking down what “cancel culture” is and isn’t and talking about the impact of thin white folks being seen as the spokespeople in fat liberatory spaces. I am also revealing the name of another person who people have been scared to speak up about (including me). TW: mentions of suicide, but nothing in detail/graphic.

Is loving your body all it’s cracked up to be? Do people who lack body hate to spend all day making out with their reflections? Will body acceptance cure a fatphobic world? What are the harms caused by the concept of body love? I’m going to answer those questions in today’s episode!

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has “reviewed” the science and the literature and decided that it’s an excellent idea to tell fat folks to eat the same amount of calories that a 2-year-old needs. Fun! When I say they reviewed the science, I mean that they didn’t really and totally misunderstand what HAES is…thinking it’s a weight loss mechanism, and coming to the conclusion people should avoid it as it doesn’t work…as a weight loss solution. Join me today as I talk about that total clanger as well as lots more courtesy of AND!

There’s been hub-bub in the UK because a new weight loss drug has been approved for the NHS. This same drug is also approved in the US and has lots of fat people hopeful that something will finally help them become thin, especially when it is touted at a “gamechanging” intervention by the manufacturer and many other outlets. Is it though? I’m breaking down my thoughts alongside chatting about the harms for fat folks with atypical anorexia. TW: assumptions about fat bodies and health dissected, it’s kinda a rage-inducing episode.

​​The Biggest Loser, Friends and Bridget Jones have a LOT to answer to when it comes to body image! Today Summer Innanen and I are talking about the shows and movies that did a number on our self-esteem. Have things got better recently or is it the same old BS and were there ANY good shows from the ’00s that helped with body image?

Let’s talk about the assumption that fat people are fat because they have trauma. I’m reading and discussing Judith Matz’s article called Unlearning Weight Stigma: The Latest Science on Trauma and Weight in this episode.

OMG, there is a chemical in my food…and I can’t pronounce the name of it, never mind spell it!!! AND I am definitely addicted to TOXIC sugar! I must be, I can’t stop eating it! Did you see the new Jonathan Van Ness show called Getting Curious where they answered the question “Why Do I Love Snacks So Much?” Instead of a delighted foray into the wonderful world of snacks this episode took a dark turn into debunked science from 1996, fatphobia, and food shaming. Fun! Summer Innanen and I break down the BS around it and other “toxic” food myths.

Before and After photos used to be my favourite thing to skip to in my Weight Watchers magazine. Seeing what was possible for me as long as I stuck to the diet was intoxicating. But what are we really learning from before and afters and what about “body-positive” before and afters showing people who used to be thin and in diet hell and now heavier but at peace, are they good, bad, or something else? Join me and Summer for another incredible episode of Death to Diets!
