Have you ever caught yourself explaining your diet to someone?

Diet culture has convinced us that we need to justify what we eat and why we eat it, and some of those justifications are downright ridiculous!

In this episode, I’m going to give you 20 of my favourite diet excuses, explaining why they’re a little bit crazy, laughing at the nonsense, and uncovering the real reasons why we feel the need to explain our food choices.

If you’ve ever said things like “It’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle!” or “I have to track everything or I’ll lose control,” then this episode is for you!

Let’s challenge these beliefs, find some food freedom, and ditch the justifications.

Over the years, we’ve seen celebrities and influencers championing body positivity, rejecting diet culture and embracing self-acceptance. Many of us found comfort in their messages, feeling seen and supported in our own body positivity journeys..

But lately, there’s been a clear change. Some of the same people who built their platforms on rejecting weight loss culture have now started losing weight.

Completely co-incidentally (yeh right….) the rise of GLP-1 injections such as Ozempic seems to have escalated this, and now their once-empowering messages have been replaced with posts about body “transformation” and the supposed benefits of shedding weight.

So, if you’ve felt let down by this, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about why this happens, why it hurts so much, and why your frustration is completely valid.

Inspired by a new book I’m reading - Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It by Kamal Ravikant - I’ve been thinking about how we can help our relationship with food and our bodies from a more holistic perspective.

Inspired by the book "Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It" by Kamal Ravikant, I’m asking you to ask yourself one question - "Would I do this if I truly loved myself?"

In this episode of the Intuitive Eating & Body Positivity Podcast, I’m talking about how asking yourself that one question can reshape your relationship with food, your body, and your overall well-being.

In any given moment this question can guide our choices around food, clothing, self-care, and personal development, helping us break free from the constraints of diet culture and weight stigma.

Join me as we uncover how embracing self-love can lead to a more fulfilling and positive life.

This week, I'm talking about making space for the new you. It’s all about creating an environment that uplifts and supports the person you’re becoming, not the one diet culture tried to shape you into.

From your kitchen cupboards to your wardrobe (and even your mindset), little changes can make a big difference. In this episode I want to help you explore your surroundings and how to make them reflect your new, unapologetic self - without overwhelm or a massive budget.

Here’s what I’m chatting to you about this week:

✨ Clearing out the kitchen clutter and swapping diet-focused tools for things that bring you joy—yes, I’m looking at those scabby old containers!

👗 Saying goodbye to clothes that don’t fit or spark joy, and making your wardrobe a space you love opening every day.

🍽 Creating an eating space that makes meals feel enjoyable, whether it’s swapping out chipped plates or upgrading to cutlery you actually like.

💡 Sprucing up your home with lighting, organisation, or little touches that make your spaces feel brighter and more “you.”

🧠 Making emotional space by clearing out negative thoughts and building in small, positive routines like gratitude or joy jars.

This episode is packed with practical tips to help you create a home (and a headspace) that’s as fabulous as the new you. Are you ready? Hit play >>

Some people love the chat with the consultant in front of everyone at the diet club, and some hate it. What camp are you in? Either way, there was always the same question..... "how much are you going to lose this week?". Now first off, I have no idea. But still I, like everyone else there, picked a number..... "I'll lose 2lbs this week".

What is with that number? Why did I pick it? Why did half the diet club pick it? This week I'm pondering over that and trying to work out why the 2lbs loss was such a popular target.

Spoiler alert! I'm also going to be telling you why it's a bit ridiculous!

Let's chat about the struggles with achieving that 2lbs loss, why it feels different depending on the week you have just had, how our bodies behave naturally, and how setting that 2lbs target for the week can encourage more restriction and more guilt.

This week, I’m bringing you a highly requested episode: Intuitive Eating and Diabetes.

I’m joined by Lydia Leighton, a registered dietitian and nutritionist, to discuss how to navigate diabetes while maintaining a healthy relationship with food.

Lydia and I deep dive into Diabetes through an intuitive eating and anti-diet lens, including:

• Understanding what diabetes is and the differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes
• How diabetes is not just governed by food
• Tests used to diagnose diabetes, and what those numbers and letters the doctor keeps talking about really mean
• How can we approach food and diet with diabetes in a way that aligns with intuitive eating principles
• Is there a "diabetic diet"?
• Sugar - is it the devil?
• How to control blood sugar spikes
• Understanding carbohydrates
• How to listen to your body
• And we are debunking myths about diabetes

Meet The Expert: Lydia Leighton

Lydia has a wealth of experience in the field, having worked within the NHS in weight management services and with individuals facing various health conditions, including diabetes. Now, in her private practice, she focuses on supporting clients in a safe and sustainable way that prioritises health over weight loss. You can find Lydia here:

Before we dive in, it’s crucial to mention that this episode is not medical advice. If you are under professional care for diabetes management or suspect you may have diabetes, please consult your healthcare provider for personalised guidance.

Hello, intuitive eaters! I'm thrilled to be back with you after a short break. I initially planned to return in September, but I missed our conversations and your wonderful support. Thank you for your lovely messages wishing me well during my time off; they truly mean a lot to me!

What’s New?

During my break, I took some time to reflect on the Eat From Within membership options. I’m excited to announce a new 4-month subscription plan! Imagine entering the holiday season with a healthier relationship with food and body image. You could enjoy Christmas dinner without the stress of calorie counting or worrying about your outfit. Check out the links section below in the show notes to sign up!

This Week’s Topic: My Experience with Noom

In this episode, I’m telling you all about my experience with Noom, a popular app that claims to support weight loss through a unique approach.

I wanted to try it on your behalf and share my insights from an intuitive eating perspective. I’m going to spill the beans on all of this:

• The sign-up process
• Calorie counting, and whether I was given enough
• Tracking and logging food
• Colour-coded food categories
• Daily weigh-ins and how they made me feel
• Exercise tracking
• Constant reminders from the app
• In-app lessons
• Noom’s holistic approach to well-being
• How it works with intuitive eating
• How it feels mentally as well as physically
• And whether I’d recommend it or not

Also, the episode I refer to about standing on the scales and weighing myself, and what that brought up for me, is way back at episode 4. Go give it a listen!
