    We’ve been “on a diet” or in the middle of a “lifestyle change” since the 90s. In this episode, we talk about how we’ve come to reject diets and diet culture, from Slim-Fast to macro tracking.

We offer tips on shutting down damaging diet conversation and how we’ve learned to balance mental health, body image, exercise, and food on our journeys toward confidence and acceptance.
