“I was appalled by episode 97 implying that making yourself hungry is a “sign of burning fat” as the speaker was discussing the possible discomforts of behavior change. As an upcoming professional in the nutrition + dietetic field with a dual degree in psychology, this is extremely upsetting. Please stop encouraging listeners to starve themselves. And yes, this includes fat listeners. Just because someone is fat does not mean it’s okay for them to go hungry. You should be ashamed of yourself for contributing to diet culture. Please stick to your scope of practice, which I’m sure is not nutrition + dietetics :). (This is intended for the guest speaker + not necessarily the whole podcast.)
If you’re reading this + you’re tired of being at war with your body, I highly recommend the book Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole + Elyse Resch.”
