The Full Plate Podcast with Abbie Attwood, MS

Have you ever felt like a particular way of eating “worked” for you, either from a health perspective or from a weight perspective? Or, perhaps you’re still having a hard time decoupling an autoimmune condition from a specific diet. In this episode, we unpack the “why” behind diets “working”, and provide both science and experience to explain how you might approach eating in a new way, without the guilt and restriction. Studies mentioned: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17469900/ - long-term weight-loss is not sustainable https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/70/6/965/4729081?login=false - long-term major weight regain https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4132299/ - health risks of dieting and weight-cycling https://www.nature.com/articles/0802728 - health risks of dieting at weight-cycling This is a public episode.

Living in diet culture since birth means we’ve all been conditioned to believe a lot of things about food and health. In this episode, we dive into part one of “things we used to believe”. Topics discussed include avoiding gluten, elimination diets for autoimmune conditions, and symptoms with the reintroduction of formerly restricted foods. Stay tuned next week for a few more things we used to believe! -- Studies mentioned: This was the study Abbie referenced with blood sugar and perceived sugar intake versus actual sugar intake: Glucose metabolism responds to perceived sugar intake more than actual sugar intake This is the milkshake study Abbie mentioned that demonstrates the impact of perceived nutrient consumption on hunger hormones: Mind over milkshakes: mindsets, not just nutrients, determine ghrelin response -- We are a listener-supported show (no ads!) so please support us on Patreon for bonus episodes at Patreon.com/fullplate Patreon is also where we publicly host transcripts for each episode, so if you’re looking for those, head over to our Patreon.  Find the show and hosts on Instagram @fullplate.podcast  Diane is  @dianesanfilippo  and Abbie is @abbieattwoodwellness This is a public episode.

In this episode, we’re answering a frequently asked question: Can I lose weight with intuitive eating? Abbie walks us through a way to think about and reflect on the desire to lose weight (her answer might surprise you!) and how to unpack what is beneath the surface of this question. We discuss how it can be approached within the intuitive eating and anti-diet paradigms, and provide practical tips on moving through it.

The term “diet” has been out of style for many years. Today’s diets masquerade as “healthy lifestyles”, “eating psychology” (hi, Noom), “wellness protocols”, “resets,” “cleanses”, and “detoxes”. Some companies even add intuitive eating language into their marketing to add to the confusion. In fact, a person doesn’t have to be following any of these in particular to be engaging in behaviors and thought patterns that are ultimately part of the diet mentality. Beliefs about food are so deeply ingrained in our culture. In this episode, we unpack what dieting means these days and how it might show up for you.
