Anger is completely normal and expected when you s

Anger is completely normal and expected when you start to see how manipulative and malicious diet culture is.
😠
And it’s not your fault for getting tangled up in it. It’s literally everywhere. It’s promoted and reinforced (often unknowingly and with good intentions) by parents, teachers, healthcare providers and other people we trust.
😤
Diet culture runs deep in so many systems, and is rooted in white supremacy and cisheteropatriarchy.
😡
Get angry. Get pissed. Get riled up. Feel it, express it (healthfully), and use it as fuel to fight these oppressive systems!
🤬
I’d love to hear how you deal with your anger at diet culture!

It’s #EatingDisorderAwareness Week so here are some important reminders about veganism and eating disorders.

As with most health-related topics, this isn’t black-and-white. There is a ton of complexity here and research is really limited.

If you’re struggling with an eating disorder, please know that you deserve help NOW. Not when you get sicker, not when you get thinner, not when you think it’s “bad enough.”

One key to successful recovery is early intervention. Don’t wait. I’ve linked to a few eating disorder professionals and treatment centers in this post. You can also search for providers in your area.

To learn more about this topic, follow the link in my bio to an extensive blog post I wrote a few months ago in which I interviewed several experts.

Help is here. Recovery is possible. ❤️

Pssst... if you’re using intuitive eating as a w

Pssst... if you’re using intuitive eating as a weight loss tool or a way to keep you from eating “too much,” you’re turning it into a diet and it will feel like... you guessed it: a diet.

You’ll find yourself in that familiar cycle of restricting and bingeing, feeling in control and feeling out of control, using lots of willpower and completely letting go, etc. And of course: still relying on external rules and appearance to provide internal validation and confidence.

It’s really wonderful that IE has become so popular, but with that comes misunderstanding and misuse.

Here are some tips for getting started and not turning IE into a diet:

1️⃣ Read the 4th edition of the Intuitive Eating book by the dietitian creators of this evidence-based framework, Elyse Resch and Evelyn Tribole (don’t rely on social media posts for your info).
2️⃣ Complete the Intuitive Eating Workbook (by the same authors above).
3️⃣ Work with a registered dietitian who is anti-diet and weight-inclusive (unfortunately there are even RDs misusing IE so you gotta do your research and make sure they’re not trying to market it for weight loss - something the creators have been very clear about: IE is NOT a weight loss tool nor should it be used that way).
4️⃣ Work with a licensed mental health professional to dig deeper into issues and challenges that contribute to obsession with appearance, drive to be thin, misuse of food and exercise, etc.

Those aren’t super fun tips but guess what - this is social media and you’re not going to heal a disordered relationship with food and body here. There are accounts that may feel inspirational, motivational, and supportive, but social media is not healthcare. You deserve dedicated, personalized support! ❤️

In case you needed this reminder...

🤓Eating patterns rich in plant oils like extra-virgin olive oil have been associated with better heart health in large population studies. AND there is a lot more to heart health than what we eat (and there is more to nutrition than the presence or absence of oils).

🧐What’s more, there are no studies comparing vegans who eat oil to vegans who don’t. We can’t say that vegans who don’t eat oil are “healthier” than those who do. We lack robust evidence supporting the anti-oil claims that run rampant in plant-based spaces. Case studies of very sick people shouldn’t be used to make generalized recommendations.

🥕And oil even has benefits! It’s wonderful for sautéing, lends satisfying flavor and mouthfeel, contains nutrients, and helps us absorb the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K!

⚠️I caution against eliminating oil because it’s not necessary and it’s a super slippery slope into disordered eating.

Language matters.

We’re so quick to assign pronouns and personas to our companion animals yet often fail to give others basic dignity.

When we stop seeing non-human animals as commodities and start seeing them as the complex people that they are, we begin to shift our ideas around using and abusing certain animals and loving and cuddling others (aka speciesism).

I forgot to celebrate my veganniversary this year, and recently realized it’s been 12 years since I began fully rejecting and boycotting the exploitation of non-human animals as far as is possible and practicable for me.

My only regret is not doing it sooner.

Cool crunchy veggies and a tasty sauce are sure to bump up the satisfaction factor of any sandwich 😋

This is a regular ol’ frozen chik’n patty (I microwaved it then popped it in the toaster oven to get it good and crispy 👌🏼) along with with onion, tomatoes, cuke, greens and avo plus mayo with dried dill and garlic powder stirred in (kinda like a quick ranch if you will).

Took about 5 minutes to prepare!
