There is a gazillion-dollar diet industry trying to convince you that you need to go on a diet in order to be a better version of yourself. They set you up by telling you all of the things that are wrong with you and promise that if only you followed their very specific advice, everything would be better. These diets follow a very specific formula: choose a culprit, like gluten, lectins or oils. Misinterpret the science to show folks how evidence-based your diet is. Then ask folks to go on a very restrictive diet that takes all of their waking energy to prepare and leaves them feeling hungry and isolated from social occasions.
Fast forward one, two, or 12 weeks from now. The diet didn't work...but instead, you think it was YOU who somehow messed it up. Which is 100% not the case. It diet culture all along....which is why I am so excited to bring you this episode with my dear friend and colleague Abby Langer RD.
