Today I’m so excited to introduce you to Christy Harrison, non-diet dietitian and host of the Food Psych podcast. There’s so much in this episode, it’s kinda tough to summarise it, but here are some highlights: we discuss the biology of why diets don’t work, and, how when you really dig into the literature, it’s not an evidence based practice. This raises an interesting question around the ethics of recommending weight loss diets. We also talk about why it’s not intuitive eating if you’re counting macros or calories and how those things may be keeping you in disordered eating. Christy shares so much insight and wisdom into the intuitive eating process, as well as her own experiences with recovering from an eating disorder. Finally we talk about how to be responsible when sharing messages of body positivity from a place of thin privilege. Buckle in kids, this is a great episode filled with so much great information; I have a feeling you’re going to love Christy.
