Change the world, not your body - f*** diets - with Becky Young
Manage episode 311734812 series 3176318
In this episode we are talking to Becky Young who founded the Anti Diet Riot Club in 2017 to bring the body acceptance movement out of online spaces and into real life.
Listen to Becky’s story of how she decided enough was enough after dieting for 10+ years. During this brilliant chat we talk about the false dieting dream, the consequences and the realities of dieting and why we do it. How different cultures, families and even our parents can influence our dieting obsessions. We discussed unlearning how we speak, think and treat others, including how to move away from the negative connotations around weight and body image. How dieting and the beauty ideal is a strong political sedative, especially for women. Is the new “normal” a disordered eating trait?
We loved chatting to Becky about this important topic and hearing all she’s doing with the Anti Diet Riot Club.
Do go check out all the wonderful work she’s doing @antidietriotclub and @theantidietriotbus.
