0:00.0	I thought of myself as a healthy eater, but I was making these really big mistakes.
0:05.2	Another common misconception is that beans or lentils or peanuts, these legumes, are protein foods.
0:13.2	Because we live in a society that's very much fatphobic. Fat loss, weight loss, weight gain,
0:18.5	all of that has become a moral issue and also a class issue.
0:21.4	What does the wellness world get wrong about weight loss?

1:27.9	goal as well. And I had my own wake-up call recently about my weight and my heart health, which
1:33.7	sparked a deep dive into the real science of how weight impacts our health in all different ways.
1:39.4	This is an incredibly compassionate, shame-free conversation about the impact of fat on our bodies and how we can
1:45.6	lose weight in a healthy way if that is a goal or desire for us. My guest has had an eating disorder
