notes on being unruly

32: Are food rules running - and ruining - your life?

Listen Later

We’re all so ready to start breaking those rigid rules around food. Nutritionist Kate Wall unpacks how “healthy eating” can slip into socially acceptable disordered patterns. We explore the patterns of food policing shame and the unhelpfulness of restrictive rules, and what it looks like to eat in a way that actually matches your life.

We talk about:

  • When “healthy eating” becomes socially acceptable disordered eating
  • The many forms of food policing: external, internal, and invisible
  • How shame fuels the restrict–crave cycle
  • Why it feels so exhausting to live by rigid food rules
  • Moving from food rules to flexible, values-led guidelines
  • Letting go of morality around food (good vs bad, earned vs burned)
  • Rebuilding self-trust through small, consistent choices
  • What it looks like to eat in a way that actually matches your life, not the one you think you should be living
  • Countering fear-based narratives around ultra-processed foods
