Summary

In this episode, Julie discusses how 'food noise' can be triggered when people start dieting again. She shares the experiences of individuals who have been working on repairing their relationship with food and how they use food noise as a cue to recognize when they are being triggered to diet. She then introduces the term 'almond mom' and explains its origin as a parent or caregiver consumed by the diet trap. Julie identifies five reasons why almond moms can be problematic, including teaching distrust of hunger and fullness, promoting disordered eating, reinforcing body hierarchy, encouraging control of one's body, and prioritizing others' enjoyment of one's body. She concludes by emphasizing the importance of self-compassion and time to repair one's complicated history with food.

0:00.0	Hey there, welcome to episode 367 of the Find Your Food Voice podcast. I am Julie Duffy Dillon,
0:07.4	registered dietitian, and host. Welcome to our summer minisode series fellow voice finder.
0:15.2	No music or editing. We're just creating content that we're gravitating toward while in the summer chaos and fun.
0:22.2	Today begins the three-part series all on The Almond Mom. But before we get to that series,
0:28.5	I want to begin by thanking you for your comments and really your commentary on how you
0:35.4	experience food noise after listening or watching what I had to say.
0:40.4	I want to communicate some of the things that people told me to you.
0:44.7	And in particular, there were many people who sent me emails or were in my DMs who said
0:51.5	that they find food noise is something that they experience as a co-occurrence
0:58.1	when they start to diet again. And these are folks who have been repairing their relationship
1:04.0	with food for many years, have been rejecting diet culture and naming it and probably have
1:09.9	supports around them. And again, have
1:12.2	nutritionally gone through some sort of rehabilitation where their body and their brain have been
1:18.4	fed. And of course, it took them longer than they were hoping, longer than they were expecting.
1:24.7	But now the food noise is kind of the cue to let them know, oh, I'm being triggered to diet again.
1:31.8	On the flip side, I also got communication from those of you who are newer to this experience,
1:37.9	newer to rejecting diets, maybe just learned about things like intuitive eating or have felt
1:43.9	like you just can't keep diet
1:45.7	because you're just so depressed about food. And the food noise, like that phrase food noise,
1:50.9	you said captures your experience exactly. And it's so loud, it's debilitating, and it's keeping
1:57.8	you from being able to live your life. Sending you so much compassion. And also,
2:03.0	I want you to know that there are people who have gone through this process before you,
