Hey everyone! Thanks for listening to episode 176 of The Diet Diaries. Today’s episode is an "I see you, I hear you, and we're in this together" kind of episode that came out of an accidental trip into the Instagram black hole of summer body transformations, before and after photos and flat ab recipes.

I remember growing up hearing the language “oh that food is so fattening.” It made it sound like eating that food would make you fat, which was, of course, the worst thing that could possibly happen (please hear the sarcasm). What people really meant is that the food had a high calorie density. What does that mean? That’s exactly what I’m talking a…

I'm betting you've said this to yourself at least once or twice. We all have a preconceived notion of what it means to be a "real" runner (or ultra runner). For some of us it's based on how fast we run, or the number of times we run a week, or how far we run....and the list goes on. We build these concepts up in our head based on our experiences, t…

I’ve been thinking a lot about the phrase we use all of the time to explain why we want to lose weight, look different, get Botox, buy a new sweater. “If it makes you happy” If losing weight makes you happy, do it.

Today we’re talking about the what is, in my opinion, the most misused and misunderstood skill when it comes to weight loss. Food tracking.

Is calorie tracking ever…
