In this episode, Melanie explores diet culture and its relationship with body positivity. She defines diet culture as a system of oppression that centres thin, able-bodied people and promotes weight loss and food restrictions. Melanie emphasises that ditching diets is just the starting point of the anti-diet journey and that it requires ongoing self-reflection and compassion. She also discusses the intersectionality of diet culture with racism, ableism, sexism, and social economics. The episode concludes with a journal prompt for listeners to deepen their own anti-diet work.
