Diet Culture Rebel Podcast

Hey Rebel. Optavia has grown in popularity over the past decade, and it makes sense. If you don't know what Optavia is, count yourself lucky. With their flashy headlines stating, "lose weight fast and keep it off", claiming it is backed by research, it is enticing. I peeled back the curtain on Optavia to see what the hype was all about. Not only is it too good to be true…but it’s so much worse than you’d think. In today’s episode, I’m sharing my findings. What is the Optavia diet protocol? What does their science actually say? The dangers of very low-calorie diets First hand accounts from past Optavia members… including the harmful health effects they’ve experienced as a result… What you take from this episode will allow you to spot the red flags in plain sight of other diet programs all around us. _______ Looking to take the next step in becoming a Diet Culture Rebel?

You are going to feel so inspired by listening to this episode. She shares her ups and downs, but ultimately what kept her going and brought her to this place where she can eat intuitively!

Hey Rebel! Today we are talking with one of THE co-authors of intuitive eating so you can understand it deeper than the over-simplified definition of "just eat when you're hungry, stop when you're full"...  How can someone just listen to their body? How can someone just eat intuitively? How can someone just eat whatever they want? To start, Intuitive Eating is not just a hunger/fullness diet and after today's episode you will understand why. Intuitive Eating was first published in 1995 by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch. In 2020, they published the 4th edition. Evelyn explains what changed have been made and why they are important in this episode, as well as taking us through how the principles of Intuitive Eating even came to fruition back in the 90s. I know you're going to get so much value from this conversation, and it might just clear up some uncertainties you had about intuitive eating.  ______ Check out Evelyn Tribole: Instagram: @evelyntribole Intuitive Eating Website _______ Connect with Bonnie on Instagram: @diet.culture.rebel Looking to take the next step in becoming a Diet Culture Rebel?

Hey Rebel! Today we're clearing up the common fear that with intuitive eating, you will only want and crave "bad" foods. I know the sound of "unconditional permission to eat" feels like it's giving you permission for a free-for-all with food. But the truth is, this permission just allows you to make a choice based on what would feel good for your body and your mind in each moment. From my own personal experience, client experiences, AND research, we actually see that intuitive eaters are more likely to eat a wider variety of foods than dieters.  Listen in and you'll learn about: a quick overview of what "intuitive eating" actually entails why rules create an urgency to eat what happens when you label foods as "good" vs "bad" research behind intuitive eating + action steps to start intuitive eating! _________ Connect with Bonnie on Instagram: @diet.culture.rebel Looking to take the next step in becoming a Diet Culture Rebel?
