*TRIGGER WARNING: EATING DISORDERS AND WEIGHT STIGMA DISCUSSION*
Are you fed up of diets and intentional weight loss controlling your life, making you feel unworthy and less than?
A few years ago I felt the same, and the catalyst for change was listening to a podcast episode with an anti-diet Dietitian just like this. And it has honestly changed my entire life.
In this episode the lovely Aoife McMahon, a Specialist Food+Body Healing Dietitian, shares her knowledge, expertise and lived experience of why diets don’t work, but also what does.
We cover:
Why diets don’t work and the research behind this
How our bodies react to food and weight restriction
Why we feel out of control around food
Why diet culture thrives on making you feel like you’re the problem (BTW, you’re not)
Explaining intuitive eating and the research behind this model
How you can begin to start healing your relationship with food
Exploring weight stigma
And, you guessed it…more!
