139. How to Lose Weight Without Abandoning Cultural Food Traditions with Samantha Lee Hosted By The Well Report

I am so excited to share this episode collab I did with The Well Report podcast hosted by Danilae Smith. I enjoyed being on her show so much that I had to share this episode on my podcast as well. Listen in, all from Dani!  – Have you ever been told that the American diet culture is racist? I hadn’t until today’s conversation. With so many cultural foods being demonized in the wellness industry, today's guest is a thought leader in this space. Today I'm chatting with Samantha Lee, a weight loss coach who specializes in teaching people how to lose weight without abandoning their cultural identity. She's completely reframing what it means to diet … and truth be told, I had a couple “aha” moments during our conversation. Losing weight doesn't have to mean you have to isolate yourself at the family function when your aunt makes tamales or adobo or any other ethnic food. First, we have to understand that food is more than just caloric numbers going in and out of your body. Food is directly tied to your community and your identity! I can't wait for you to tune into this episode and walk away with actionable tips to begin your weight loss journey sans food shame. Because with the Summer months fast approaching, I know there’s pressure to get in shape. Together, let's focus on finding a sustainable body instead. In this episode, we're chatting about:  The loss of identity when we deny ourselves of our cultural diets  Why diet  culture is inherently racist  How to tell when you're hungry and full  A guide to understanding emotional eating  A "summer body" reframe   Connect with Dani here: https://www.tiktok.com/@itsdanilae https://www.instagram.com/itsdanilae/ Listen to The Well Report Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-well-report/id1733020729   Let’s Work Together: Join 6 months 1:1 coaching where you lose 20 pounds and keep it off eating your cultural foods.
