#128 Chatting about the diet industry with Jenny McDonald

Today I’m chatting to Jenny McDonald, the Food Freedom Fairy and author of ‘The Book the Diet Industry Doesn’t Want You to Read.   We chat about how and why Jenny started her business, after her own 6 ½ stone weight loss.   We also chat about why she wrote her book to spread her message to more people.   As children, we may have received the wrong messages and food become a reward or we simply believed that we had to be a certain size or shape.   We also chat about how the diet industry, the ‘diet cycle’, and about building a positive relationship with food.   Jenny is also a Woman Who Solopreneur Awards Winner (2023) and a Judge for the 2024 Awards.   You can find out more about Jenny and reach out to her here:     Website: https://foodfreedomfairy.com   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/foodfreedomfairy/   Amazon:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Book-Diet-Industry-Doesnt-Want/dp/1399967649/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=     Need some help?
