Life"s too short to count almonds ·

2024/09/25

Today we go through in depth a summary of the webinar that we watched on body dissatisfaction. The good, the bad and the dangerous. Unfortunately we simply can not recommend this webinar for parent needing help helping their kids with poor body image. Much of it was not about body image at all but about how to improve nutrition quality and get kids moving and the bits that were about body image unfortunately were very surface level or impractical. It was missed opportunity and we were

Life"s too short to count almonds ·

2024/09/18

Just s short episode today, we squeezed in recording this just before watching a webinar on body dissatisfaction.Entitled ' What to do When Kids Don't Like their Bodies' you would think as Eating Disorder Dietitians we'd be thrilled that more people are talking about this issue. We usually would be. Unfortunately the 'Special Guest Expert' is not a clinician, not a psychologist but a 'weightloss expert' and 'obesity researcher'. As soon as Meg saw it advertised she immediately reached out

S4 Ep9 Weighing kids in school? Hard no.

Life"s too short to count almonds ·

2024/09/11

You may have seen in the news that a report has been released by the Australian College of Nursing making the recommendation put more nurses in school (great) to weigh kids (not great.)Thankfully the pushback has been swift, clear, measured and evidence based and we share our thoughts on the idea. We thought Dr Kyla's response and The Embrace Hub response on The Project were both great ***trigger warning for stigmatising images in the edit*** The Mexican Corn Salad recipe Meg mentioned can

S4 Ep8 : Non-Diet Social Media Struggles

Life"s too short to count almonds ·

2024/09/04

We love a lot of the non-diet content we see on social media.It's such a great way for people to feel connected and less alone and is often the first introduction people have to a different way of relating to food. But, it can leave people feeling a bit stuck or uncertain. So we chat about what can get missed and some options for ridging the gap. Mentioned in the episode was The Intuitive Eating Workbook and Christy Harrison's 'Anti-Diet' book and our 'detox your metaverse' and positive

Life"s too short to count almonds ·

2024/08/28

This week's episode features Susan's middle and youngest daughters, and their takes on watching That Sugar Film in PE. In a shocking turn of events Susan's youngest daughter got in the car one day last week after school and said "Guess what WE watched today" and sure enough it was That Sugar Film.Argh, this film refuses to disappear. A heightened conversation ensued! We thought it might be interesting to recreate the conversation minus Susan's swearing. The interview is in two parts as it

We have a short (and high energy) chat for you today. We took the opportunity of being in the same room to record an episode straight off the back of our live "Diet Culture Spring Clean" webinar.We chat about an episode of the 'The Rest is History' podcast about the history of Italian food which is very different to the myths and assumptions that are made about it. It's fascinating and you might want to listen to it here. Meg's favourite thing this week wasRecipetin Eats Dahl- cheap,

S4 Ep4 : Olympic Bodies

Life"s too short to count almonds ·

2024/08/07

At this goes out we are halfway through the Paris 2024 Olympic games.There's bodies on display and a lot of body commentary. Some of it is great, positive, inclusive and recognising that 'fit' doesn't have look and celebrating all the amazing things that different bodies can do. But unfortunately, a lot of it is awful. Objectification of both men and women, body shaming, and criticism, so we chat about that. Makingthe most of the good and managing the bad. We are loving Ilona Maher's

This is what happens when we haven't caught up in a while and don't have a topic planned.We hope you enjoy our chat today, we talk food, cottage cheese getting out of it's scope of practice by pretending to be a wrap and then go off on many tangents. This is the butter chicken recipe Meg loves even more than 'the one in the book' and this is the braised fennel recipe that was Meg's favourite thing this week, just amazing with grilled lamb (cutlets or chops) dusted with Chinese 5 spice and

2024/06/26

Back for the final episode before we take a little break we thought it was a good time to revisit 'Boring Self Care'.We last spoke about this in October last year but in winter and summer we often need different ways to look after ourselves. From skin checks to bulk cooking, from deciding between early morning movement and a bit of extra sleep, we chat about what helps us, especially in school holidays when the routines can be thrown out.

Today we share our reflections after watching 'That Sugar Film'.Yep, we sat down and donated 90 minutes of our life so you don't have to. It was even worse than we expected. Please do not let your kids watch this movie.If you haven't signed the petition to get this awful movie out of Australian schools please do that here. This was the restaurant where Susan had her birthday dinner and Meg's breakfast wrap was from here and we highly recommend making this carrot cake. Delicious!! Jump on
