RIP Diets

It's the Season 5 finale, and we're kicking it old school with some extremely uplifting Food News about The Ghost of Diet Culture's Past, aka Gwyneth Paltrow, who announced that she's eating bread and cheese again! Then we open up the Mailbag to read a dear listener's "I Have a Bone to Pick" as well as a listener advice question. Thank you all for an incredible podcast season! Peace, love, RIP Diets.

Today we're talking all about Food Trends, with a special focus on desserts! I invited on professional baker, marshmallow maven, and fellow podcaster, Katherine Sprung, to talk all about how certain foods become trendy, if it's worth it to participate in the trends, and how the food trend cycle affects the seller as well as the consumer. This was a really interesting look at the hype machine that made the whole world obsessed with Cronuts, Crookies, Dubai Chocolate, and the monstrosity that is Crumbl. We also get nostalgic and revisit food trends that we participated in, and others that left us very confused. We also answer the age old question - is anything truly worth waiting in line to try?

It's another Thursday episode, and I brought back my Tuesday guest, Abbey Roberts RD, to complain some more with me! Abbey has a bone to pick with Tradwifery and everything that goes along with it. This was one of the best shit talking sessions yet and we really did not hold anything back. Hold onto your sourdough starters because we're coming for them too!!!

Oh boy... today we're talking all about MAHA, aka Make America Healthy Again, aka the pile of trash that is RFK Jr.'s public health agenda. I have a great conversation with Registered Dietician and one of my personal faves on Instagram, Abbey Roberts, about what MAHA is, why we should all be very skeptical of every single thing RFK Jr. says, and how the current conversation around public health is becoming a BIG distraction so that we don't pay attention to the things that actually matter.

PSA TO THE MOURNERS: We had some tech issues during the recording of this episode, and the sound quality is compromised. It's not up to my usual standards, and I sincerely apologize to you all! I improved it as much as I could, and I thought the content of the episode was funny, so I made the decision to still publish it. Just a tip - it sounds slightly better if you listen through speakers instead of headphones. My BFF Erica is back for another "I Have a Bone To Pick" Thursday! Today we have a bone to pick with celebrities who deny having any plastic surgery or cosmetic work, but we all know it's a lie and it's honestly insulting at this point. This conversation was a bit unhinged, but it was also one of the most passionate Bones to Pick we've had so far.

This episode is all about PCOS and Endometriosis awareness. These are chronic gynecological conditions that often go under the radar or get swept under the rug, and many women are powering through symptoms that are uncomfortable, painful, and often debilitating. First, I have a conversation with friend of the show, Macy Eleni, about her unique experience getting diagnosed and treated for Endometriosis, and she explains how Endo has affected her life and how assertive she has been with various doctors in order to get the medical attention she needed. I also have a conversation with content creator and PCOS warrior, Erika Hoang, who describes just how long it took to get answers about her symptoms and the lifestyle changes she has made in order to be her healthiest and happiest self. Please keep in mind that these are both personal accounts by women who have these chronic conditions, and it does not constitute medical advice. This episode is really about ~advocating for yourself~ and why you should always trust yourself when it comes to your own body! The song featured in this episode is "100 Tampons" by comedian and musician, Marcia Belsky (and yes, it is based on true events) Follow Macy @macyeleni on Instagram and @macyeleni on TikTok Follow Erika @erikahoang on Instagram and @erikahoang_ on TikTok For weekly bonus content, visit PATREON.COM/RIPDIETS Submit your bones to pick or write me for advice at RIPDIETS@GMAIL.COM DM me on Instagram @LUBINATION or @RIPDIETS  

My fabulous guest from the Tuesday episode, Sam Previte, is BACK, and she has a bone to pick with #SkinnyTok! Oh boy, we are pretty riled up for this one. You're telling me that the same pro-ana content from the 2010s Tumblr era is back, but this time in VIDEO form? Nope - not today, Satan!!!! Sam and I call out some of the toxic AF videos we have seen, and complain about how this type of content pretends to promote "healthy habits", but actually promotes full-on disordered eating behaviors.

Have you ever wondered how to break the generational cycle of poor body image and disordered eating? This is the episode for you! I discuss all my fears when it comes to having kids, the biggest one being the fear of passing on my own messed up relationship with food. Then I bring in Registered Dietician, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and Mother of two kids, Sam Previte, to talk about how we can break the cycle and reinforce a positive relationship with food from the very beginning with our kids, and continue on through different phases of childhood.

I have my sis Meliss (who is better than me) on the podcast this week for "I Have a Bone To Pick", and we're discussing a truly important girlhood issue that doesn't get talked about enough... why are we called "basic bitches" for simply enjoying things that everyone likes? We've had enough and we won't be silenced any longer! Melissa and I discuss our most "basic" interests, the "Millennial-core" aesthetic, the agony of trying to find unique clothes, and our favorite basic beverages, as well as so many other things! This is a little break from the typical diet culture topics, but let's be honest, diet culture is also super basic and deserves an honorable mention.

It's a mailbag episode! I'm answering some listener questions and giving my two cents. One listener is struggling with accepting her new body while dealing with symptoms related to a hormone imbalance. Another is wondering how to even approach quitting smoking and drinking. And finally, a listener wonders how to tell her meat-and-potatoes loving boyfriend that sometimes she just wants to have a girl dinner!

Whew baby, we're back with another round of "I Have a Bone to Pick" featuring return guest and brilliant skincare maven, Charlotte Palermino! After educating us on the Tuesday episode, she is ready to blow off some steam and talk shit about all things DIETS and WELLNESS! The fact is... there are no facts! None of it is rooted in science. The majority of "wellness" is really about the pursuit of thinness, and we already know this. I bond with Charlotte over being stigmatized as a young child for being "chubby", being sent to camps that forced us to lose weight (although hers wasn't even technically a fat camp), and being asked "What's your secret?" when the answer is almost always GENETICS! This is a very passionate bone to pick for both of us, and will make you want to rail against the machine (hell yeah).

It's about time we talk about aging. First, I talk about Nikki Glaser's recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and react to her apparent plan to get a facelift at age 40, as well as other comments she has made about aging and her lifelong insecurities. Then, I talk about my love of skincare and the potential it has to slow down signs of aging (and whether that is even something we SHOULD strive for)! I talk about my recent exploration of Retinol, and bring in the founder of Dieux Skin, Charlotte Palermino, to give a thorough Retinol rundown, including tips, tricks, and product recommendations!

We got a spicy one today! Longtime friend of the show, Megan Ixim, is finally back to share her Bone to Pick with the men who leave nasty comments on her IG all day every day, and can't seem to admit to themselves how utterly obsessed they are with fat women.

This episode is all about CHOCOLATE! I discuss my long-term relationship to sweets and how I incorporate sweets into my day while still maintaining a well-balanced diet of nutritious and satisfying meals - I even drop a couple simple recipes for my fellow sweets people! Then, I have a conversation with Alysha Kropf of Ecole Chocolat Professional School of Chocolate Arts, where they will teach you how to be a real-life Willy Wonka if you so desire! We nerd out about chocolate, bust some chocolate myths, and explore what makes chocolate so magical to both kids and adults. Prepare for some imminent chocolate cravings after listening to this one!

For this special Thursday episode, I invited my friend Erica on the pod for "I Have a Bone to Pick". We both have had a bone to pick with the women's fitting room experience for quite some time, but the most egregious one of all is, hands down, the fitting rooms in the women's clothing store Aritzia. This is perhaps the most niche Bone to Pick yet, but the girls who get it are gonna GET IT. Listen to us air our grievances with Aritzia, as well as other annoyances such as boyfriends being allowed in women's retail stores, the fact that all our clothes are made of plastic, and our traumatic high school memories of shopping at Forever 21 with our teeny tiny friends. This is a fun, unserious Bone to Pick for our fellow women who are SICK of the in-person shopping experience, particularly at "cool girl" stores that make you feel like overpriced garbage.

On this episode, I'm talking about GLP-1s and the icky way they are being promoted and sold to us under the banner of Wellness. I also talk about THAT Hims and Hers commercial that aired during the Superbowl and the ass-backwards messaging that we can't seem to escape. For today's conversation, I invited Dr. Erin Parks, clinical psychologist and co-founder of Equip, to discuss the impact of GLP-1 marketing on both people in larger bodies and people suffering from Eating Disorders. Once again, we never want to demonize anyone for taking any medication, but rather shed light on those who might be negatively impacted by the culture surrounding it. A few corrections on the content of this episode: Erin was correct that there was an elderly couple in "Titanic" who decided to go down with the ship holding hands. This was based on a real couple who made this decision in order to allow others to be rescued, since they were both quite old. It was truly a heroic act of self-sacrifice. (Source: Today) Erin quoted the Hims and Hers commercial as saying "75% of Americans are overweight," and I had remembered it as 76%. Turns out, we were both incorrect. The commercial said 74%. In any case, it's pretty irrelevant, since the statistic is bullshit.

On this Thursday episode, I invited my friend and hilarious comedian Tracey Carnazzo on the podcast for "I Have a Bone to Pick." Tracey has a bone to pick with the societal pressure to "fix your face" with botox, fillers, and other cosmetic procedures. When did it stop being okay to have your own unique face? If you want more, Tracey will also join me for this week's bonus episode on the RIP Diets Patreon, where we'll play Eat It or Beat It and talk even more shit.

On today's episode, I seek to answer the question "What if I tried Intuitive Eating and it didn't work for me?" With the help of Binge Eating Recovery and Body Image Coach, Stefanie Michele, I attempt to better understand why Intuitive Eating doesn't "click" with certain people, and the most common things that get in the way when trying to heal your relationship with food. This conversation was pretty eye opening for me and made me recognize some patterns within myself that I had not thought too deeply about before. This is the perfect episode for anyone who's interested in Intuitive Eating, but doesn't feel like they are quite "there" yet!

Welcome to the season premiere of RIP Diets! In this episode, I talk about the American obsession with French women, particularly with the way they eat and exercise. Then, I have a conversation with my new French friend Lucile who gives me an inside look into the food culture of France, and answers all my burning questions. Do French people really eat all that bread, or is the "traditional French breakfast" actually just coffee and a cigarette? This episode explores what we could learn from the French attitude toward food, movement, bodies, and wellness... and if there's anything THEY could learn from US.

At last, the long-awaited season finale of RIP Diets season 4! In this episode, I'm talking about Charli XCX, why I stan her so goddamn hard, and how her latest album "Brat" explores the themes of weight, body image, girlhood, and generational trauma, while still being the perfect music to throw some ass to! We also have some related Food News about a plant-based "meat" company that seems to be having a Brat summer just like the rest of us. It could not be a more perfect time to end this season and usher in Brat summer at the same time.

Today I'm discussing my standom of Kirsten Dunst and other celebrities who opt out of trying to stay "young" at all costs. I also get into the Trad Wife trend, why cooking EVERYTHING from scratch might not be in the best interest of the kids, the return of capri pants and jorts, Khloe Kardashian's "inspirational" Instagram post, and a whole lot more.Submit your bones to pick or write me for advice at RIPDIETS@GMAIL.COMDM me on Instagram @LUBINATION or @RIPDIETS

We're back and we're THRILLED to be back (and by "we" I mean me, Emily). This week, I'm getting unhinged about the teaser of Megan Fox on Call Her Daddy, and break down each of her cosmetic surgery "confessions" from the interview. I also talk about the always transparent Kylie, the resurrection of the Choco Taco, and how Julia Roberts discovered what social media is. The podcast is not dead, people!

Emily talks about her irrational "fear" of McDonalds and fast food in general, and where it all stems from... the 2004 documentary "Super Size Me" by Morgan Spurlock. This movie rocked everyone's world. Back then, it was shocking that a man ate nothing but McDonalds for 30 days and... his health declined??? I'm not kidding - peoples' jaws were on the floor after seeing this documentary. For this episode, I watch the film for the first time in 20 years and attempt to de-program my fear of McDonalds, because at the end of the day, I'm not going to be taken out by some nuggets and fries.Submit your bones to pick or write me for advice at RIPDIETS@GMAIL.COMDM me on Instagram @LUBINATION or @RIPDIETS

Aaaaaaaaand we're back! On this episode, I read a listener's advice question about Binge Eating Disorder and offer tips on how to silence that voice that tells you to keep eating when you don't really need to. I give a personal account of how I took back control after years of binge eating (but remember, recovery is not always linear). Then, I break down some food news about a new coffee chain by the most loved and hated fast food chain in America, McDonald's. Enjoy yourself this holiday season and remember, DIETS ARE POINTLESS, especially during the holidays.

Happy National Cookie Day!!!! On this episode of RIP Diets, I announce some extremely relevant food news, followed by a deep dive on the very problematic one-size-fits-small clothing brand, Brandy Melville! I recount how I started casually buying clothes from this store, and why I am vowing to never buy clothes from them again. Brandy Melville is such a bigoted, racist, fatphobic brand and it cannot be ignored anymore, no matter how much they scratch that 2010s Tumblr Girl itch that we all have inside of us. There aren't enough crop tops in the world to make this kind of toxic behavior fashionable.Read more about the Brandy controversy and lawsuits:Business Insider:https://www.businessinsider.com/brandy-melville-ceo-doesnt-want-black-shoppers-ex-store-owner-2021-9https://www.businessinsider.com/brandy-melville-teen-fast-fashion-racism-exploitation-hitler-marsan-2021-9The Cut:https://www.thecut.com/2021/09/working-at-brandy-melville-sounds-like-an-absolute-nightmare.htmlhttps://www.thecut.com/2019/10/the-secret-shame-of-wearing-brandy-melville.htmlSubmit your bones to pick or write me for advice at RIPDIETS@GMAIL.COMDM me on Instagram @LUBINATION or @RIPDIETS

Today I'm talking about the ups and downs of recovery, and how I use my bad days/weeks as challenges for myself to come back even stronger in my recovery. I also talk about the tough balance of posting your body on social media without setting an unrealistic expectation for other people. Remember that Instagram is not real people! Finally, I have a conversation with Julie Allen about her experience in Eating Disorder treatment, and how it inspired her to create the Mary Rose Foundation, which assists those in need of recovery but can simply not afford it!
