I will also offer that there is a lot of sneaky bs going on in diet culture when it comes to just really precipitating those beliefs around bigger bodies, around certain types of food, certain types of exercise habits, your ability to do certain things, how we look.
Have you ever wondered why diet culture seems to be everywhere, pushing us towards unrealistic body standards and harmful eating habits? In this episode of 'Middleish', hosts Erin Green and Michael Gray pull back the curtain on the pervasive influence of diet culture. Erin, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, and Michael, a personal trainer and nutritional coach, team up to expose how deeply ingrained these harmful beliefs are in our society, starting from a very young age.
Erin and Michael don't just stop at identifying the problem—they offer practical advice on how to reclaim your relationship with food and your body. They dive into the emotional and mental aspects of health, emphasizing the importance of tuning into your body's natural hunger and satiety cues. Their conversation also covers the tricky territory of diet culture in sports nutrition, highlighting how even athletes aren't immune to its sneaky messages.
One of the standout moments is when Erin discusses the 'last supper effect'—the tendency to overeat in anticipation of starting a restrictive diet. This episode isn't just about pointing out what's wrong; it's about empowering you to make healthier choices by being mindful of the messages you receive daily. The hosts also touch on how to talk to kids about health and wellness, ensuring the next generation grows up with a healthier mindset.
