Have you been curious about whether an anti-diet / intuitive eating approach can coexist with a food budget, or whether it's possible to meal plan without it being rooted in diet culture? In this episode, Abbie does a deep dive into both of these questions from listeners.  Question 1: Hi Abbie! I’d love to know what you recommend for eating intuitively on a budget. I’ve made so much progress with releasing guilt with food, and incorporating so many things that used to be off-limits, but I’m having trouble approaching it without some financial fears coming up.  My food spending has increased since embracing anti-diet, and I just want to be able to keep healing without feeling this looming restriction hanging over me with money. Thank you if you’re able to answer this! Linda Question 2: Hi, Abbie! I’m curious if you have tips on meal planning without falling into the diet culture mindset. For context, I am a mom of 3 with a pretty demanding job, and I do think it helps me to have some sort of plan for dinners each week. I have a history of dieting and disordered eating, and while I’ve made so much progress (many thanks to your instagram and the Full Plate podcast!), I know I have a lot of work to do on healing my body image and just feeling less crazy about food and exercise. While embarking on this anti-diet journey, it’s occurred to me that my meal planning might be part of the dieting mentality, and maybe even fueling some old disordered eating. But I can’t help but think that it’s still a useful tool in my life to make sure I can feed my family without losing my mind! Hoping you might have some thoughts on how to approach this. Thank you so much for all you do! Megan   Looking for more support on these topics, and a gently structured approach to food freedom?
