Summary

Fellow anti-diet dietitian Glenys Oyston, RD, joins us to discuss how pursuing weight loss made her miserable, how she learned to pursue nutrition for its own sake instead, why she's on a mission to help other people break free from diet culture and body shame, and lots more.

Glenys Oyston is a Health at Every Size® (HAES®) dietitian. She believes people's relationships to food are more important than the individual foods they choose—and that we should forget about focusing on weight loss. Find her on her blog, Dare to Not Diet, and on Twitter @glenysoRD.

0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome to episode 49 of Food Psych.
0:18.7	I'm your host, Kristi Harrison, and today my guest is Glenis Oistin, the founder of
0:23.4	the blog Dare to Not Diet, and a fellow dietitian nutritionist specializing in health at every
0:29.4	size. So Glenis shares her long and complicated history with her weight and struggling with food and
0:35.8	her relationship to food and how she discovered health at every size at a really serendipitous time
0:41.0	in her career and how that led her to heal her own relationship to food and help others heal.
0:46.0	It's a really inspiring story and she's a great guest, so we'll get to that in just a moment.
0:50.6	But first, I want to point you to a couple of great resources for helping improve your
0:55.0	relationship with food. The first is my free quiz to assess your relationship with food and see how

1:35.8	show you how to recognize the diet mentality, even in its subtle forms and how to start substituting
1:41.4	healthy thoughts instead. I'll share my secrets to making food and exercise choices from a place of
1:47.0	self-care rather than self-control and I'll teach you how to navigate emotional eating and how to
1:52.9	stop alternating between restricting and overeating and so, so, so much more. Several participants have
1:58.6	shared that the courses helped them make peace with their quote-off limits foods already. As one
2:03.4	participant put it after trying one of their quote-unquote bad foods, I felt free, sweet, sweet
2:09.2	freedom. Why was I so afraid of this food? I doubt I'll feel the need to buy another package when
