    The Fast Track Researchers' European Vacation

    The Fast Track Researchers' European Vacation

    In 2018, the entire world pushed back against the notorious "Fast Track to Health" trial, a $1.2 million tax payer funded experiment in which Australian teenagers would be subjected to a year of semi starvation. More than 70 years of weight science research unequivocally demonstrates that weight loss dieting doesn't work in the long term, and causes homeostatic damage. We also know that teen dieting, ESPECIALLY severe restriction, is a massive risk factor for disordered eating and eating disorders. Despite valiant attempts by the eating disorders community, and a viral change.org petition pleading for the Fast Track to stop, this brutal research was allowed to continue. 6 years later, the world's slowest Fast Track has reached its bitter end. The Fast Track research team have just sharted out a triumphant press release, and are planning a glitzy trip to Venice, Italy, to present their ASTOUNDING results. Don't miss this episode of All Fired Up, where I unpack this utter sh*tshow. TW: This episode is packed full of weight loss dieting, explicit talk of calories, 'O' words, and EPIC weight loss industry bullsh*t - so please approach with caution !

    Bright Line Eating: Rezoom Part 2

    Bright Line Eating: Rezoom Part 2

    In Part 2 of our series on Bright Line Eating, we chat with highly regarded neuroscientist Dr Sandra Aamodt about the neuroscience of body weight. The weight loss industry like to tell us that what we weigh is a matter of personal choice, when in reality, our bodies have a "defended weight range", commonly known as the set point, which resists weight loss. On diets, our bodies release a whole cascade of hormonal and physiological processes which take us back to where our bodies feel comfortable. We also talk about how food addiction - is it real? Or are the people pushing these ideas just peddling a re-packaged eating disorder?

Truncated Bright Line Part 1

Great podcast, love the passion.
Please fix Bright Line Part 1. It’s only 1 min long so I’m guessing there was a technical glitch with the upload.

Love the content BUT…

Love the content. Really hoping the bright line eating part 1 gets reuploaded as it’s currently not working. There are tons of anti diet programs but this one resonates with me and I like the delivery.

Could use a better mic / sound quality but not a deal breaker.

Knocked off one star because the intros are nearly 5 mins long. I get that the host has a program that she wants to promote, but for frequent listeners such a long identical intro is tiring. And even for new listeners it’s a turn off.

So refreshing

I love this podcast. This is a must-hear.
