Meet Erin, A non-diet dietitian from Melbourne. She is a wealth of knowledge and information, In this chat, she shares tips and inspiration to move away from weight loss and towards intuitive eating. She shares her philosophy about ditching diets to explore intuitive eating and a non-diet approach and how liberating, joyful and exciting it can be.
We circle back to Erin's childhood and discuss her relationship with her body and food over the years and how that is impacted by the messages society sends us as young women and diet culture. It’s so normal and common to be scared of gaining weight. We live in a society that idolises thinness, celebrates weight loss and dismisses people with larger bodies. There’s also the idea that weight gain instantly equals poor health. While there’s an *association* between higher body weight and specific health conditions, it’s not a causation. There’s a big difference.
Often our fear of weight gain lies in our beliefs about larger bodies. From a young age, diet culture teaches us to see thin as good and fat as bad. Whether it’s a family member commenting on our bodies, public health campaigns or messaging from our favourite Disney movies, they tell us the same story, it’s terrible to gain weight or be in a larger body.
You will hear the passion in Erin's voice and her deep desire to help other women and men achieve a healthy balance and relationship with food and their bodies - Just the way they are! Check out the links in the show notes to see how you can work with Erin.
