#21: Diet Rock Bottom Explained: Signs, Symptoms, and Steps to Recovery

Make Peace With Food

In this episode of Make Peace With Food, host Emily LaVoie delves deep into the concept of "Diet Rock Bottom." Emily, a certified eating psychology coach, explores why many people hit this breaking point and how it can actually be a catalyst for positive change.

Listeners will learn about the three intersecting circles that define Diet Rock Bottom: the realization that another diet is not an option, the ongoing dissatisfaction with one's body, and the grief over time, energy, and happiness lost to diet culture. Emily emphasizes the importance of understanding these elements as a necessary step towards embracing intuitive eating and fostering a healthier relationship with food and body image.

As we transition into 2020, Emily also outlines exciting plans for the future of the podcast, including engaging guest interviews and discussions on more politically-charged aspects of diet culture. She invites current and former clients to share their stories, acknowledging the power of lived experiences in resonating with others on similar journeys.

Tune in to explore why diets fail, the emotional toll of diet culture, and the importance of prioritizing genuine health and happiness over relentless weight loss pursuits. This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling tempted by New Year's dieting pressures and seeking a more sustainable and joyful approach to food and body acceptance.
