In this episode, we’re answering some listener Q&As from our Patreon community. Topics include weight loss with intuitive eating, how fitness goals fit into anti-diet culture, and how to navigate cravings for foods that don’t make you feel physically good. Hi Abbie and Diane, I hope you’re doing well. I’ve been loving the podcast and recommend it to all my friends. ☺️ I have a question I’m hoping you can cover in a future episode:  I started along my intuitive eating journey at the end of 2020, and gained weight (which I’m neutral about), and I have found I’m losing weight now which I think is because my cravings have shifted and by adding in more potato and rice (thanks to the twin study I did on nutrition), I feel satisfied a lot and not craving sweets as often. I am afraid somehow I’m missing something and slipping back into dieting. Is this normal? Thank you!! How do you recommend navigating cravings for food that you know don’t make you feel well. Lately I have been craving more processed food, things like cereal and chips. I am allowing myself to indulge in them but I normally have some tummy pain afterward. Should I continue down this path or should I make any adjustments. I am new to this journey and have so appreciated your podcast. Thank you!! I would love to see a topic on fitness goals and diet culture.  I do have fitness goals at this time, mostly because I am curious to see what my body can do strength wise at my age, but I would love to hear your thoughts on how/if that fits into anti-diet culture.  We are a listener-supported show (no ads!) so please support us on Patreon for bonus episodes at Patreon.com/fullplate Patreon is also where we publicly host transcripts for each episode, so if you’re looking for those, head over to our Patreon.  Find the show and hosts on Instagram @fullplate.podcast Diane is  @dianesanfilippo and Abbie is @abbieattwoodwellness
