My journey with exercise has been chaotic for most of my life. Dieting really screwed up my relationship to exercise as much as it f*cked up my relationship to food. When I first entered the world of Health At Every Size and Intuitive eating the concept of Joyful Movement sent me straight into cognitive dissonance. And then I quickly realize that as much work I needed to do to change how I perceived food and my food habits I needed to do the same work with exercise. I had to make a conscious dec...

I often get asked what is the difference between mindful eating and intuitive eating. While mindful eating teaches you to be present with your food experience, intuitive eating encompasses the whole relationship to food. Both are different and similar at the same time. Both are excellent and should be incorporated into one’s life. Based on your past experience with food one might be better than the other. That's what we will discuss in today’s episode. What you’ll learn listening to this episode...

Have you been told you shouldn’t be eating X or Y food for your health? As a good responsible patient, you’ve been trying your best to do so. But in secret, you obsess about the food that is “illegal” for you? You resent the fact that you can’t have sugar as a diabetic. Sometimes end up even end up overeating that “illegal food”. You struggle with “on plan” consistently. You may even feel guilty for not being “good enough” to control your urges. Not your fault! That one restricts foods for healt...

“I’m doubting my ability as a coach...How can I increase my confidence as a coach?” A very frequent error health coaches make is to get more certification in order to be more confident in their coaching skills. A new certification will not give you confidence. Being A Confident Non-Diet Coach Confidence is an emotion. Confidence is a feeling. Coaching confidence is a feeling of trust in your ability to coach your client. When you feel confident about your coaching abilities, you typically are mo...

"If you don't love it, don't eat it and if you love it, savor it". - Evelyn Tribole Satisfaction versus Fullness The difference between satisfaction versus fullness is how you can see that diet culture has invaded your journey through intuitive eating because satisfaction with food is always left off the non-diet way of diet culture. Food can be filling without being satisfying: Think of your last diet when you ate a bowl full of salad. You felt full. Your stomach was stretch out, full, but you ...

One of the frequent questions from health coaches who encounter my work in the non-diet approach for the first time is this: How do I make money as a non-diet coach? I get it. I had the same question 6 years ago when I first came to the world of anti-diet health coaching. If we don’t tell people what to eat when to eat and how to eat, what will they pay us for? Right? To help answer this question, I’d like to give you an inside view into my anti-diet health coaching business more precisely what ...

When I first started in my nutrition practice the term “non-diet approach” didn’t even cross my mind. “Anti-diet approach” didn’t even exist. Unbeknown to me, I was practicing the “diet approach to nutrition” simply because that’s what was taught in health & nutrition school. Fast forward close to 10 years now and a lot have changed. The non-diet approach is growing rapidly, so has the anti-diet approach and intuitive eating is booming. So in this episode, we will deep dive into the non-diet...

Have you ever thought, "I wish I could just eat normally!" Hell yes, right, lol! I've had this thought for years not sure when I first started to think it, but it's been years for sure, probably decades. I thought that by quitting dieting, I would be able to eat normally. Well, that didn't work, lol! After a few attempts, I had to acknowledge that I didn't even know what eating normally was.

People will often refer to mindset as a perspective. I like to explain mindset to my clients as a collection of all of the things you believe, that you assume or that you have been taught. These can be conscious or unconscious, but these beliefs, assumptions or taught notions that influence your feelings, the approach you have in the situation, how you meet your needs, and ultimately the actions you take, therefore the results you create in your life. The analogy I used with my clients is that y...

Being Body Neutral Body neutrality is a way to engage with our bodies. The goal of body neutrality is to dial down the enormous significance that’s being given to physical attractiveness in our society. In fact, the significance of women’s beauty is what causes us to do all kinds of crazy things to look “better”. We wear make-up and spend a stupid amount of money on anti-ageing cream. And we cut up our body with esthetic surgeries and yes, dieting. Moreover, we effectively starve ourselves in or...

Power or Control Let us start with this question: Do you want to be in your power with food, or do you want to control food? Do you want to be in your power with your body, or do you want to control your body? My own relationship to power and control has been different at different stages of my life. I spent most of my teens developing my power and being punished for it. In fact, I was labeled as a rebel because I was in my power. Over the years of being told over and over again that what I was ...

Are you a righteous eater? One hint that you might be is the answer to this question: Do you secretly feel superior (better than others) because of the way you eat? This one is also revealing: now again, answer silently : Do you feel a sense of shame or guilt when you don’t eat the way you think you should? I emphasize the word secret or silent answer because admitting that you are a righteous eater publicly is just another layer of shame that we want to avoid. We don’t seek righteous eating bec...

Unlearning Diet Culture as a mom It’s in our human DNA to seek autonomy as we become adults. To be independent and self- sufficient; without having to fit someone’s expectations but our own. To be ourselves. I mean as parents our role is to raise little humans to be autonomous, right? But Diet Culture gets in the way of our autonomy as women. It tells us what to eat, how to move, and what size and shape our bodies should be. You and I do not have to live our lives according to diet culture's rul...

The Black Outfit Do you have a black outfit in your closet? Do you perhaps have more than 1 black outfit… one piece for every type of clothes? Do you wear black clothes as often if not more often the bright colorful clothes? Or do you wear bright colorful clothes that make you stand out in a crowd? Do you strategically plan the color of your clothes based on where you’re going? Is wearing black clothes a problem? Heck no... black, red or blue colors are neutral. Instead, it’s about the intention...

Good Girl Syndrome Do you remember being told to be a “good girl” when you were young? And praised for being a “good girl” and punished for not being a good girl? Although socialized very early on as women, to be a good girl this socialization is done with good intentions but it leaves grown-up women struggling and in pain. We are told to be: sexy, but not sexual; skinny, but not to be healthy; smart, but not too smart. The contradictory messages are seemingly endless. We have this duality withi...

The “inner child” is a concept used by psychologists and therapists of all backgrounds to express the deep-seated beliefs that one’s hold within and often expresses itself in “self-sabotaging” behaviors. The “inner child” is part of the teaching and learning you have acquired before your teens that still is present within your subconscious mind. The thoughts that are still playing in your mind driving some of the “inexplicable” desires, behaviors, or thought you are experiencing as an adult toda...

“So I quit dieting … what do I do next?” This is where all women begin their journey into intuitive eating. Maybe you know the answer to this question because you’ve been there. Or perhaps that’s the question you are asking yourself right now. Most women have been indoctrinated into diet culture at a very young age and have been living according to diet culture’s rules since then. Most women don't even realize that they can say no to diets. That there is another way of living beyond restricting ...
