How does diet culture affect men? This is a question we haven’t explored on the podcast before but we recently connected with Jonny Landels, he joined us for a very interesting conversation about how he went from a fat loss coach to a HAES-aligned PT openly challenging his own anti-fat bias.
He openly shared his struggle with knowing his diet culture approach was no longer what he believed in, but not knowing how to articulate what he was learning about intuitive eating and the anti-diet approach to fitness and health.
Jonny explains how the language around diet culture isn't often aligned with how men view their approaches to food and exercise, the language is different but the culture and the ingrained anti-fat bias is the same. He now tries to reach men and women with his non-diet approach to support them out of the rigid rules and disordered eating plans.
Bio:
I'm a former diet-culture-obsessed fat loss coach turned intuitive eating coach and HAES advocate. I spent years fighting my own body and believing I just needed to be more disciplined and motivated to maintain weight loss long-term. A couple of years ago I started learning about disordered eating and intuitive eating, I slowly pivoted my coaching and re-trained, and I've not looked back since! I now help clients break free from food and body obsession and end their constant mental battle with food while using strength training to help them fall in love with exercise again.
