Hi and how are you faring during this late-stage pandemic period? It’s been a few weeks since I’ve written or posted. Like many of my friends, colleagues, and clients, I am both fine and not fine at the same time. And I’ve been participating in a polyvagal theory training that is rocking my world and awakening […]
Just a quick reminder that wherever you are on your Intuitive Eating path – whether you’re feeling good about it, whether you’re questioning it, whether you think you’ve screwed it up somehow (not possible, by the way), whether you’ve lost connection with it altogether – there is no moving backward. Because Intuitive Eating is a […]
I’m so excited to share with you the availability of two new books you must add to your anti-diet library. The first – available immediately – is from Fiona Sutherland, the Mindful Dietitian, and it’s called Vitamin A to Z. I love the simplicity of this book and how it helps you build the foundation […]

We love round numbers: *100-calorie packs of Oreos *1 oz of potato chips *1/2 of cooked rice The problem is that these lovely, knowable, concrete numbers have absolutely nothing to do with your body, your needs, what will be satisfying to your unique needs in a given moment. They are in fact completely arbitrary, having […]
When you’re dieting, any challenge that pops up is meant to be whacked like a carnival mole. Obstacles in this sense are all about overcoming, overriding, vanquishing, and emerging victorious.

In our diet culture, the word discipline has taken on a particular meaning – one of militant, self-denying, aggression. .

True discipline is about coming back to […]
