Episode 16 : Our personal food and body stories

Life"s too short to count almonds ·

2023/08/02

We're getting personal today and sharing our own food and body stories. While they have definitely been more straight forward than many, we've had our ups and downs, missteps and learnings along the way. We firmly believe that our past experiences shape our present day thoughts, feelings and behaviours so it's important to understand and appreciate where we have come from to help move forward in the direction that we want our food and body story to go in the future. Doors to our first ever

"Hi Meg and Susan,....I've dieted for so long I don't know what I like. I'm confused I just want to eat normally...." This was a question we received from a listener and it's a good one and one we have certainly heard in the past. Dieting and diet culture has made food and eating so hard, we hope our chat helps make it a little easier. It has become so hard to confidently navigate our food choices and eating behaviour because we live in a culture that breeds insecurity, doubt and and

Episode 14 : Non-diet adventures in AI

AI is coming and being used in a huge range of online programs, from course development, to podcast support and even meal planning. We've had a bit of a play with a few AI products and unfortunately, there is a huge risk of AI simply proliferating more and more diet culture saturated information.

2023/06/28

On today's episode we chat about a couple of things we have seen on social media recently that have caused us to have some 'thoughts'. Both were concerning diet culture messages directed at or out of the mouths of preschool aged kids. Missing both an understanding of developmental stages and capacity for kids to understand nuanced and abstract nutrition concepts, and of the harms of diet culture messages is a recipe for harm, confusion and disordered eating. Resources mentioned include, The

On this episode of Life's Too Short to Count Almonds, we answer a question from a listener this week about weight loss and diet culture. We explore the harmful effects of diet culture and it's obsession with weight lossand delve into the concept of mindfulness as a tool to help break free from the pressures of diet culture. We knowthat triggers such as a change in seasons or fitting into old clothes can be very disruptive and make it difficult to break free from harmful beliefs fuelledby

Unfortunately Diet Culture gets it's tentacles in soooooo early. Today we chat about an, unfortunately not isolated, incident when a health professional gives restrictive diet advice to a toddler. As I'm sure you can imagine, we were unimpressed and ready to rant, and reminded of other similar stories we have heard over our years working in this space. In this instances we have been aware of, there have been resources and grounding to identify the advice as wrong and harmful, ignore it and

Episode 8 : Pleasure in food is not always as simple...

Life"s too short to count almonds ·

2023/06/07

This week we’re talking about pleasure. Pleasure gets a bad name in food and nutrition. Pleasure is associated with “bad” or forbidden foods. However we know that when people have a peaceful a relationship with food and mostly eat foods they enjoy their nutritional intake is richer and more varied. Also note the fancy dietetic terms ‘alimentary atresia’ and ‘sensory specific satiety’. Also listen out for Meg’s tummy rumbles! Meal Planning link to

Episode 7 : Family dynamics in eating and feeding

2023/05/31

Our eating is often impacted by those around us. Sometimes this is really helpful as it can help us explore new or different food, eat more regularly than we might or help us develop our skills of 'making do'. But quite often, the impact isn't so helpful. In this episode we chat about 'the space between' parent's and children's eating behaviour, helpful and unhelpful impacts and get really distracted talking about food we've cooked and eaten recently and an update on Meg's

Episode 6: Isn't meal planning part of diet culture?

Life"s too short to count almonds ·

2023/05/24

If you asked Meg or Susan 'what is the one thing that helps you with managing food/feeding the family/saving money on food etc' we would both answer 'meal planning'. Sometimes people are surprised that we are such supporters of meal planning because for many people, meal planning has always been a way of 'sticking to the diet' or controlling and limiting food intake. In today's episode we get quite distracted talking about things we have cooked, but also talk about meal planning 'the

Within a week of #blueygate the producers of the episode that created the social media storm had removed the 45 seconds from the beginning of the episode #winning! So, these storms can lead to great change...but there was a lot of belittling, abuse and dismissing of people who spoke out. So do we have an obligation to speak out? How can we protect our own health and wellbeing and contribute to change? This episode was recorded before the Bluey episode was updated but it's not really about

Meg made Susan cry by making her watch the Dove 'Cost of Beauty' video. You can watch it too if you're up to it - heads up, it's very emotive and challenging so give it a miss if that's not going to be helpful for you right now. So we talk about the video and a bit about protecting our kids from toxic messages on social media. We discuss how even though not everyone who diets, or consumes diet culture messages, will develop an eating disorder that doesn't mean that dieting doesn't have a

Social media is not going anywhere and can be a useful way to build community, feel connected, get new and fun ideas, but it is also a cesspool of bad nutrition advice, predatory marketing and impossible beauty ideals. Today we discuss what to watch out for, and ways to curate your feed to create a supportive feed that encourages body trust, connection and food freedom.
