Say goodbye to the food police and hello to peace. Welcome to the Love Food podcast, hosted by

dietitian and food behavior expert Julie Duffy Dillon. This authentically engineered series is in

margarita and let's begin.

Hi and welcome to episode 184 of a love food podcast. I am Julie Duffy Dillon, registered dietitian, and partner on your food piece dirty.

dieting month, I want to know what you need for me. And the best way to do that is send me your
