The Problems with Diet Culture

After a little break, we’re happy to come back with a stellar podcast episode: the issues we have with Diet Culture. We cover a huge amount of topics within this umbrella term: diets, the culture of dieting and wacky diets being introduced to help with weight loss. We discuss a little bit about weight loss and about the nutritional considerations when it comes to eating more optimally for your goal weight. However, this isn’t a podcast that offers weight loss advice - we’d always encourage you to read up on nutrition and consult a specialist who can help you with your personal health needs and goals. On this episode, we cover:What we think about caloriesDiets based on body shapeWeight, BMI and healthThinking about weight loss as the side effect, rather than the main goalWhy many weight loss diets failOur problem with diet culture The dangers of yo-yo dietingThe illusion of quick fixes in weight lossWhy giving up your control to an app isn’t helpful Why reading nutrition labels is keyMaking intentional choices with lifestyle changesThe value of small changesSUPPORT JOYFUL BALANCE PODCAST: Feel free to share your support with us, by donating a cup of coffeeInstagram: @joyful_balance.meEmail: hello@joyfulbalance.me—-Work with usCLICK HERE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH MEERA (NUTRITION)CLICK HERE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH DENISE (THERAPY)
