Episode #91: Celebrating No-Diet Day with Anne Poirier and Kathryn Best

No-Diet Day was started 30 years ago by Mary Evans Young to promote body acceptance and size diversity. 

This is a day to increase the awareness of the harms of dieting and also invite people who have been dieting for most of their life to experiment with giving themselves a break from needing to follow food rules, weigh themselves and feel the pressure of needing to lose weight. 

Dieting does not offer long-term weight loss but instead robs people of mental and physical health. 

On the podcast, I had a panel conversation with Anne Poirier, Eating Disorder Specialist, and Kathryn Best, LCSW about why a non-diet lifestyle is so important, how diet culture impacts people’s relationship with food, and the cost of dieting.

Episode #86: Will I Lose Weight With Intuitive Eating?

A great question. I get why you're asking it. And I question that I get all of the time.

On the podcast, I share why losing weight is so important to you, what I know about dieting and intentional weight loss pursuits, and my thoughts on weight loss and intuitive eating. 

Episode #85: Intuitive Eating, Safety, and Diet Culture with Amee Severson

On the podcast, Amee shares how people new to intuitive eating often get sidetracked when they treat intuitive eating as the “screw it” diet. She shares how being free of guilt and worry around food helps improve your own health and dieting may feel necessary to do for folks when people around them are dieting too.

Amee also shares the importance of safety and choice for everyone, but especially for those that live in marginalized bodies where safety isn’t readily accessible. 

Amee Severson (she/they) is a Registered Dietitian whose work focuses on body liberation, fat acceptance, and intuitive eating through a social justice lens. Amee’s passion is providing safe and inclusive care for the LGBTQ+ community.
