Welcome back to Season 4.

Today we chat about dry July and alcohol consumption in general including the weird rise of 'low carb or low calorie' alcohol beverages being marketed with a 'health halo', cultural factors influencing alcohol consumption and some tips for reflecting on your own relationship with alcohol.

We have a really big few months coming up. We are launching the Non-Diet Way for the last time this year. Click here to sign up for updates for when we launch in August.

Meg's favourite thing this week was Recipetin Falafel - give it a crack, it's delicious.

Susan's was inspired by this instagram post and if you want Meg's 'meal matrix' you can get it here.

Back for the final episode before we take a little break we thought it was a good time to revisit 'Boring Self Care'.

We last spoke about this in October last year but in winter and summer we often need different ways to look after ourselves. From skin checks to bulk cooking, from deciding between early morning movement and a bit of extra sleep, we chat about what helps us, especially in school holidays when the routines can be thrown out.

Meg's favourite thing this week was this cake by the fabulous Yotam Ottolenghi closely followed by Nagi's laksa which makes an appearance on the pod everytime she makes it! 

The Frozen Green Pea and Ham recipe Meg mentioned is also here as promised! 

We're preparing to launch another round of The Non-Diet Way. Our online program that steps you thgough the work we do one on one with clients who want to get off the diet merry-go-round but aren't really sure what that means. Jump on the waitlist for our next round here. 4 modules over 5 weeks with a live zoom to debrief each module and answer your questions. 

Today we share our reflections after watching 'That Sugar Film'.

Yep, we sat down and donated 90 minutes of our life so you don't have to. It was even worse than we expected. Please do not let your kids watch this movie. If you haven't signed the petition to get this awful movie out of Australian schools please do that here.

This was the restaurant where Susan had her birthday dinner and Meg's breakfast wrap was from here and we highly recommend making this carrot cake. Delicious!!

Jump on the waitlist for our next round of 'The Non-Diet Way', 4 modules over 5 weeks with a live zoom to debrief each module and answer your questions. 

 

If you listened to last week's episode you'll know that we have started a change.org requesting ACARA to remove 'That Sugar Movement' from the list of resources in the Australian Curriculum. Recently there has  been some great changes to the food and wellbeing curriculum resources with the inclusion of eating disorder organisation's recommendations and school supporting programs as well as some clear recommendations in the supporting documentation recommending ceasing the use of BMI, not doing any activities that label foods good and bad and not doing and calorie tracking activities. This is great but undermined by the presence of 'That Sugar Movement' as a key resource really undermines it.

There's been a good response and if you haven't signed yet we'd appreciate your support. The next step will be getting the message out to teacher who are using it that it is incorrect, harmful and a terrible example of the use of science. In a time where the critical consumption of media has never been more important it's pretty horrifying that this is show in classrooms around the country to 'teach' about sugar. It needs to go so please sign and share.

 

 

Today we chat about a recent Dietitians conference that we attended. It was a mixed bag and the ongoing clash of weight centric and weigh inclusive ways of practicing was obvious once again.

We also talk about our change.org petition we have just started to make some noise and try to have 'That Sugar Film' removed from being showed in classrooms across the country. Is remains listed as a 'key resource' in the Australian Curriculum and it has to go!

Please sign and share the petition that you can find here.

Susan tried her first ever oyster at this fancy pants restaurant and the pickled peppercorns are these and they are totally delicious..but possible no longer available and you might have to try making your own!
