Clean eating. Low carb. Low fat. Do this not that. Now what? Eating is getting too stuffy and complicated. Diets promote harm not health. Plus, they are boring.
Key Points:
This dietitian lists her concerns and pleas to food for help. People don't fail diets. Diets fail people. Let's start a revolution to respect our bodies and reject the diet mentality.
We need a new path to peace. The Love, Food podcast will call an Uber so we can get off the diet crazy train. Each spunky opinionated episode will consider ways to experience food peace and move away from disordered eating, binge eating, emotional eating, and negative body image.
Show Notes:
