In this week’s episode Hannah and Ali talk all things fat positivity. Understanding how important it is to listen and learn from those in the fat positive community, Hannah and Ali asked the fabulous Tash Nigindi from @thethicknutritionist to join this episode. Tash is a non-diet nutritionist, body supportive Zumba instructor and a former crash dieter who uses her story with recovering from diet culture and embracing her body to answer all your questions on social media, race and reclaiming the word fat. Do social media filters perpetuate unrealistic beauty standards? Is calling someone fat an insult? Are the BMI cutoffs rooted in racism? Can you be healthy if your body is outside the normal BMI range? There was no better collab than bringing on the sassy, hilarious fellow Canadian Tash Nigindi to tackle this topic. There were lightbulb moments and of course a ton of laughs as Tash takes a one, two punch to diet culture and dances with self-acceptance all over this episode. Make sure to head over to the @eatcakepod Instagram account Monday-Friday at 3pm PST for a live support "Snack Time & Chill"- a chance for a supported snack at a physical distance, to ask your nutrition questions and have some laughs along the way.
