Hey everyone! Just thought I’d share my geeky excitement – I got to be a guest on Julie Dillon’s fantastic Love, Food podcast! In this episode, a fat nutrition student writes a letter to food asking if she should go on a diet to better fit the mold of a dietetic student. Have a listen […]
I was talking to an acquaintance who doesn’t know what I do (this body acceptance stuff) for at least some of my time, which is why she said to me, “I’m looking for a 1500 calorie diet – I saw pictures of myself at my nephew’s wedding and I didn’t like the way I looked. […]
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to go to a continuing education course (gotta get those CEUs!) called “The Science and Practice of Mindful Eating.” I was initially disappointed by the description that focused heavily on mindful eating as a treatment for obesity and stated, “Research shows that mindfulness practices can lead to […]
