Ep 133: Defining Diet Culture - Day 1 The Weighting Game Series with Leslie Schilling and Bianca Juarez Olthoff

<p>Is diet culture managing your life without you knowing it? Friends, we are starting this new year with a series of conversations around… <em>food and diet.</em> Today is day 1 of a new series called The Weighting Game.</p> <p>Registered Dietician and Nutrition Specialist Leslie Schilling is my guest for the next five days where we will discuss the pervasive influence of diet culture in our lives. Today we explore:</p> <ul> <li>The definition of diet culture</li> <li>Negative relationship with food</li> <li>Addressing skeptics</li> <li>Diet culture in safe places</li> <li>Gluttony as a heart problem</li> </ul> <p>Diet culture has infiltrated many aspects of society, including our homes, medical visits, schools, and even churches. It is so important that we learn about the negative impact of diet culture in our communities and around body image and self-worth. You know I love a good challenge, and this conversation will challenge our traditional beliefs about food and eating. </p> <p>Stay tuned till the end, friends, and take a quiz with me to help you assess your own relationship with diet culture.
