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

the form of a love letter welcoming you to reconnect with food. Now pour a cup of coffee or a

margarita and let's begin.

Hi and welcome to episode 267 of a love food podcast. I'm Julie Duffy Dillon, registered dietitian, and partner on your

food piece journey. I'm so glad you're here. Thank you for connecting today. We know that the

food piece journey can be bumpy for everyone, but the bumps, the mountains, the twists and

turns can be more complicated based on your lived experiences. Something that we talk a lot about

in the Love Food podcast is when someone is dieting and doesn't have permission to eat enough

food, how that can make things feel really complicated, really fast.

It can promote that feeling of feeling out of control.

Sometimes people would consider themselves addicted to food when this happens.

And yet, there is a topic that isn't talked a lot about in the food piece kind of conversation,

certainly not enough on this podcast and not enough in intuitive eating and eating recovery,

eating disorder recovery circles rather, is food insecurity.

Because besides diet culture, when someone doesn't have enough food because

they don't have access to enough food from whether it's like income inequality or just not

access to enough safe food or consistent access to food, that will do something else to our

relationship with food.

So we are going to dive deep into this topic.

And this episode that you're going to hear now is actually a rebroadcast of an interview

that I did with Lori Short Zimudio.
