LPP #62 Finding Acceptance, Belonging & Connection Without Dieting with Cara Harbstreet

This week I’m chatting with anti-diet Registered Dietitian, Cara Harbstreet. Cara is the founder of Street Smart Nutrition. And although I have spoken to a number of non-diet RD’s in this second season of the podcast, I’m always surprised at how each of the conversations take such a different path. We talk about Cara’s experience with disordered eating and how she found her way to freedom. We also focus on: the prevalence of disordered eating in female athletes, the misleading marketing tactics – used by the diet industry – that mask diets/weight-loss, and how we can find an identity in dieting praying on our need to belong & be accepted. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: Cara’s intuitive eating journey The difference between ‘disordered eating’ and an ‘eating disorder’ How elimination diets (like vegetarian or vegan) can mask disordered eating tendencies Her “cheeseburger phase” experiment The guilt she experienced upon starting her intuitive eating journey How being alone can exacerbate emotions when you are feeling triggered The importance of eating food that YOU personally find satiating Health = the controllable behaviors that we can actually influence The importance of our overall lifestyle & the behaviors we embody to our health Eating for the sake of aesthetics in the world of athletics Why we can only take people as far into the healing process, as we have gone ourselves Why it’s important not to demonize food and where it comes from Food rules and how to identify them Diets are really selling us on belonging How the diet industry manipulates consumers by using misleading marketing tactics that mask diets/weight-loss The risk of receiving non-specific diet/lifestyle advice from general practitioners CONNECT WITH CARA: Her website: http://www.streetsmartnutrition.com/ Email: [email protected] On instagram: https://www.instagram.com/streetsmart.rd/ Facebook Community “You can sit with us”: https://www.facebook.com/groups/IEwithStreetSmartNutrition/   LISTEN ON ITUNES GET INVOLVED Hang out with the Pod Squad on Facebook for your daily dose of health, wellness, and uplifting conversation.
