#32 Caution: Don't Start a Diet

from The Appetite Hosted by Opal: Food+Body Wisdom

Holiday festivities, time with family, and a change in routine often inspire a diet or “lifestyle change” immediately following. May we suggest that you consider NOT starting a diet this new year? In this episode, Opal's Nutrition Director Julie Church, RDN and host Carter Umhau, LMHC discuss the negative physical and psychological ramifications of diet-mentality, how the diet industry has been rebranded as "wellness," and why eating a lot of the foods you like doesn't make you "bad."
