Saying Goodbye to Diet Culture with Toni Rudd

In this week's episode, Han is joined by Toni Rudd. Toni is a binge eating and food freedom dietitian who works with women who yo-yo diet to stop bingeing, to eat without restriction, and to find food freedom.

In this week's podcast, we discuss:

  • Toni's work as a non-diet dietitian, and how she came into this area of work.

  • What the term "non-diet" means, the impact this can have on someone's life, and how someone can step into this approach after years of dieting.

  • The impact of long-term dieting, on both your physical and mental health.

  • What the term "yo-yo dieting" means, the consequences of this approach.

  • Tips from Toni on how to step away from dieting, despite our society that praises weight loss and restriction.

  • Toni's view of what she has gained through saying goodbye to dieting.
