Rebecca and Bernie welcome 2018 by kicking diets to the curb. They share their personal goals for creating a better life in 2018. And they officially launch the Body Kindness "Spiral Up" Club -- a year-long membership program focused on a diet DETOX and building up a positive, caregiving mindset with compassion, not shame. Then later in the show, they discuss the basics of "HAES" (health at every size) and answer listener questions about how to advocate for size diversity in their life. --- Health At Every Size explainers and resources - Research study from Journal of Obesity: The Weight-Inclusive versus Weight-Normative Approach to Health: Evaluating the Evidence for Prioritizing Well-Being over Weight Loss - http://bit.ly/2q8qgyE - "There is excellent research to support a weight-neutral, nutrition and physical-activity-based, Health at Every Size approach as a very promising chronic disease prevention strategy." - an article by Registered Dietitian Emily Fonnesbeck: A weight-neutral approach to health - http://bit.ly/2q2Ro24 - Food Psych podcast Episode #127: Intuitive Eating & Health At Every Size FAQs with Ashley Seruya & Christy Harrison - http://bit.ly/2q6bh8n - From the Association for Size Diversity and Health (ASDAH), an animated video exposing the limitations of current research on weight and health: The Problem with Poodle Science - https://youtu.be/H89QQfXtc-k --- You can subscribe to Body Kindness on iTunes and Stitcher.
