PSA: POC Have Eating Disorders Too

There’s this idea, especially among people of color, that eating disorders do not affect us and is an affluent skinny, white girl issue.

Why We're Over it + How to Amplify Black Voices On & Offline

In the past few days, we've been hit up by countless publications, podcasts, and influencers asking us to be on their platforms to do a podcast interview, host an IG live, or have a conversation on racism. Oftentimes, these requests come with a ridiculously tight turnaround, which feels really inconsiderate. We're human beings. We have lives. Believe it or not, we're actually busy. Also, there's a lot of emotional labor and trauma involved in being vulnerable and sharing our experiences with racism. PLUS! We've contributed to COUNTLESS articles (go to our press page) about inclusivity and social justice before it was trending. We've also done so. many. podcast episodes on these topics (check our BLM highlight for some of the most recent episodes). The work is out there. If you have looked at some of the work, and still want to collaborate, make an effort to be more mindful about how you reach out + what your asks are. In this week's episode, we go in on why we're frustrated and exhausted. But we also make sure to include some action items on what you (black, POC, white) can do to amplify Black voices both on and offline.

10 Foods You Didn’t Know You Could Freeze

Coronavirus has complicated food shopping, and you may find that items are sold out, foods are overpriced, or that you have to spend a ridiculous amount of time on checkout lines. There are also the aggressive shoppers that want to race you for the last carton of eggs (if this sounds really specific, it’s because it legit happened to me yesterday). Usually we make a supermarket run every week to grab essentials, but needless to say, we’ve been trying to limit those runs because the experience has become so unpleasant. Also, social distancing is a real thing. Freezing is an excellent way to preserve foods, and can be especially useful during these chaotic food shopping times.

What’s one good book that you COULD. NOT. PUT DOWN. in 2019? For me, it was The Eating Instinct by journalist & author, Virgina Sole-Smith. In this book, Virginia visits kitchen tables around America to tell her own story, as well as the stories of women recovering from weight loss surgery, of people who eat only nine foods, of families with unlimited grocery budgets and those on food stamps.

How to Navigate Comparing Yourself to Others w/ Marci Evans

Do you compare yourself with others? (Raises hand.) Our podcast guest this week, Marci Evans, spoke about social comparison theory at our annual nutrition conference, and it was hands down the most powerful presentation I have ever been to. Social comparison theory states that individuals determine their own social and personal worth based on how they stack up against others. In some cases, comparison can be helpful, but more often than not, it’s bad for our wellbeing. If you have ever compared your success, body image, relationship status, friendships or even living situation to anyone else (especially on social media), you HAVE to listen to this episode.
