It was the honor of my career to have Dr. Lindo Bacon on the podcast today! If you're interested in learning from the author of Health at Every Size and Body Respect about why weight doesn't equal health, today's episode is for you! Plus, we dive deep into the evolution of Dr. Bacon's books and their new book, Radical Belonging.

Dr. Lindo Bacon is a researcher and former professor, and for nearly two decades taught courses in social justice, health, weight, and nutrition. Dr. Bacon holds a Ph.D. in physiology with a specialty in nutrition, and master's degrees in psychology and exercise metabolism. Dr. Bacon has mined their deep academic proficiency, their clinical expertise, and their personal experience to write two bestselling books, Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight, and the co-authored Body Respect: What Conventional Health Books Get Wrong, Leave Out, or Just Plain Fail to Understand about Weight.

Their newly released book, Radical Belonging: How to Survive and Thrive in an Unjust World (While Transforming it for the Better) , takes their inspiring message beyond size, to shaping a culture of empathy, equity, and true belonging.

In this episode we discuss:

• Who Lindo is and their desire to not be defined by work or accolades, but rather who they are.
• A basic explanation of what exactly is Health at Every Size.
• What led Lindo to write Health at Every Size, and what the book left out that they believe is integral to health.
• How Lindo's book Health at Every Size, Body Respect and Radical Belonging are an evolution of their research and beliefs, how each book builds on one another.
• Lindo's inspiration to write their new book, Radical Belonging, all about how to survive and thrive in an unjust world.
• How social injustices impact health outcomes and why health isn't just about our behaviors like food and exercise.
• How Lindo practices wellness without obsession.

Today I want to talk to you about the differences between how we set goals as a dieter, versus how we set goals with intuitive eating and body image work. Because I could imagine, for some of you, this is actually what's holding you back and keeping you stuck- unable to truly move into your intuitive eating journey.

Setting goals as a dieter tends to be short term and weight or appearance based. Even if it is health related, it tends to have a weight equals health approach, and still comes back to weight loss.

Yet I find that setting goals as a dieter rarely leads people to actually feeling as if they've created sustainable health habits that stick. Rarely do people create health habits that they will have for the rest of their lives through dieting. Honestly, I find dieting tends to do the exact opposite.

It tends to make people hate eating vegetables because they force themselves to eat only raw carrots and steamed, unflavored broccoli. So they think that all vegetables lack flavor. Dieting tends to make people never want to exercise, because when they forced themselves to exercise as a dieter it was from a perspective of punishment for what they ate, not for pleasure and enjoyment of moving the body.

If this resonates then listen to today's episode to learn the differences between goals as a dieter versus goals as an intuitive eater. You'll learn about how the destination needs to feel like the journey, how to set long term health goals, habit formation instead of goal setting and avoiding perfectionist planning.

In today's episode I reference this episode from Kara's podcast, Unf*ck Your Brain and you can also hear her on the podcast here.
