The Full Plate Podcast with Abbie Attwood, MS

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.
