Description

For our very first All Fired Up podcast, I'm chatting to the incredible Fiona Willer, dietitian, educator, and anti-diet researcher. We came across an article written in Time Magazine called "The Weight Loss Trap: Why Your Diet Isn't Working." As anti-diet health professionals we KNOW that trying to lose weight is a trap for the vast majority, so initially we were SO excited to see Time magazine admitting it! But then we read the article...and we got angry!! Because once again, the media is falling into the trap of calling weight loss a trap, and then pretending that it's not a trap in the very next breath. Fiona and I take you through why this article is mostly bulls**t, and how to protect yourself from further media bulls**t about weight science. UNTRAPPING from the weight loss trap means thinking critically and looking underneath the assumptions of weight science. Fiona talks sense about the relationship between health and weight, and dissects this constant message that the only way we can be healthy is to lose weight.

Welcome to the All Fired Up podcast, with your host Louise Adams!  Louise is by nature a mild mannered clinical psychologist, but her alter ego – a FIERCE and fearless anti-diet crusader – is taking over! Louise specialises in helping people recover from disordered eating, and she’s COMPLETELY OVER trying to help people when the culture we live in is utterly sick, toxic, and screwed up when it comes to food, exercise, health, and body size.  Louise cannot for a second longer take the rampant injustice of a society obsessed with thinness and health. She can’t STAND how fat people are being treated like second class citizens. She is LIVID about the way weight science is being sold to make a buck off human misery.  And she’s SO OVER the diet bulls**t that she’s shelved her own introversion and started a podcast!  So welcome to All Fired Up!, where Louise delves deeply into diet culture and blows it the hell up! Each week we’ll meet brave and fascinating anti-diet warriors who are also fighting for equality, justice, and freedom. Join us, and get All Fired Up! about building a better world!
