Stop Liking Weight-Loss Posts - with Christy Harrison

Christy Harrison is an intuitive eating counsellor, anti-diet dietician and author of the book, Anti-Diet. ~ 

Have you ever liked a photo of someone who underwent a huge weight transition? Have you ever told a friend they look amazing after losing 10 pounds? Have you ever thought that your life, your potential would look better - if only you could stick to that exercise regime? My friend, like me, you may have grown up around diet-culture. ~

Today's guest is Christy Harrison, an intuitive eating counsellor, anti-diet dietician and author of the book, Anti-Diet. Christy also hosts the Food Psych podcast, which explores people’s relationships with food and their bodies, and is one of iTunes’ top 100 health podcasts. Today, Christy talks us through the oppressive roots of diet culture, 'wellness' on social media and the fat acceptance movement.

Christy is incredibly generous with her knowledge, and this is one of the richest conversations to date.

Topics include: diet culture, weight stigma, 'wellness', fat acceptance, media representation, health at every size and more.
