Hello you beautiful babies!! Thanks for stopping by and taking a little listen to our wonderful show! This week we are talking about weight loss based reality shows and our disdain for one in particular. We won't name it here, but it's THE BIGGEST one on television and you're not a LOSER for disliking it. And though Carly and Greg discuss the inherent problems of these shows, they do admit to love the Slaton Sisters of "1000-Lb. Sisters" and hope they can all be friends one day. We have victories, we have challenges and we have an offer from a dude who wants to be a guest on the show (Spoiler: He won't be a guest on the show). We also read our first listener mail!

We're back and very excited to have the third part of our look into the racist diet industry!! On this week's episode we have the very funny and very fantastic Tooky Kavanagh with us to discuss her experiences as a Black woman in the American diet culture. She gives us an insight into her upbringing as someone thought to be "Not Black enough" and "Not White Enough" and sometimes Italian, depending on the Uber driver she gets. Tooky explains how changing schools changed her own outlook, how school girls are "trash" and shares a story about a train platform in LA. All three of us share our thoughts on the body positivity movement, as well as "plus size models". We're dishing a lot, spilling tea and Tooky would like for you all to know that she's sorry. Also, follow Tooky on Social Media: @Tookymonster.

Hey there you beautiful babies!!! We're here with another episode and this week we welcome back Elisa Salvat to discuss Part 2 of a THREE PART topic regarding racism in the dieting industry. This time Elisa discusses what she learned in school and how it is applicable in her every day practice as a dietician. She also talks about the lack of diversity in her industry and about how Black women are specifically targeted by the standards of the diet culture to not love their bodies, as well as being told by "professionals" how to live their lives based on research geared not towards People of Color. We also discuss beyond the doctor's office or hospital to the lack of access to food and food deserts and some of the solutions we can all implement, regardless of your color, gender, etc. to succeed at in the face of an industry setting us up to fail.
