  • The Truth Behind "What I Eat In A Day" Videos (REPLAY)

    [REPLAY FROM FEB 2024]

    In today's episode, Britany discusses why she has no plans to do "What I Eat In A Day" content on social media and why she thinks the popular trend contributes to unhealthy diet culture and the demonization of "good vs bad" foods. 

    She provides insights around how to think about food and diet messaging on social media so that you hopefully prevent falling prey to the toxic messaging - even when it's indirectly implied - so you can stay in a positive headspace when it comes to what you're eating.
