This week, Aleen and Sami are joined by registered dietitian Colleen Christensen (@no.food.rules on IG) to talk about what it means to be a “non-diet” dietitian. They start with some practical tips for approaching nutrition without a diet mindset, which sounds impossible tbh, but it’s not. She tells us how to focus more on what makes our bodies feel good, not just what might make us lose weight. They talk about being honest with yourself about what you actually enjoy eating, and examine the urge to rebel against diet culture by consuming things we don’t actually want (like the 10 brownies we shoved in our mouths at 2AM). Plus, they discuss why perfectionists are often drawn to dieting and being “that girl” amongst their friends. Next, they share some of the food rules that you may not even realize you’re following. Finally, they read a listener Non Scale Win and offer their own wins of the week.
