Summary

Is diet culture managing your life without you knowing it? Friends, we are starting this new year with a series of conversations around… food and diet. Today is day 1 of a new series called The Weighting Game. Registered Dietician and Nutrition Specialist Leslie Schilling is my guest for the next five days where we will discuss the pervasive influence of diet culture in our lives. Today we explore: The definition of diet culture Negative relationship with food Addressing skeptics Diet culture in safe places Gluttony as a heart problem Diet culture has infiltrated many aspects of society, including our homes, medical visits, schools, and even churches. It is so important that we learn about the negative impact of diet culture in our communities and around body image and self-worth. You know I love a good challenge, and this conversation will challenge our traditional beliefs about food and eating. Stay tuned till the end, friends, and take a quiz with me to help you assess your own relationship with diet culture. Tag me @biancaolthoff and @leslieschilling and let us know if diet culture is at the driver seat of your life. Come back tomorrow for Day 2 of The Weighting Game series! Love you friends, B RESOURCES/LINKS GuestLeslie Schilling: https://www.leslieschilling.com/ Book: Feed Yourself: Step Away from the Lies of Diet Culture and into Your Divine Design IG: https://www.instagram.com/leslieschilling/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/NutritionLeslie Quote Diet culture is this system of beliefs that elevates thin bodies, also elevates certain types of foods, and equates thinness with health and worthiness and beauty. And it touches every part of our culture, everywhere we go. Takeaways Diet culture is a system of beliefs that equates thinness with health, worthiness, and beauty. Diet culture permeates various aspects of society, including our homes, medical visits, schools, and churches. Body diversity should be celebrated, and thinness should not be equated with beauty or worthiness. Gluttony is a heart problem, not a problem of what or how much we eat. Recognizing and challenging diet culture can lead to freedom and a healthier relationship with food. ⋇ Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here ⋇ Order Bianca’s new book GRIT DON’T QUIT ⋇ The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available.

Like, how do I, how can I trust this woman? So in a second, I want you to tell us a little bit about who you are, your passion for food, your passion for really bringing freedom around this concept of diet culture. But before that, I have to,
