ETR 230: Rant: 5 Reasons “Eat in moderation” is useless advice

In this episode of Eat the Rules, I’m running solo ranting about the 5 reasons why eating in moderation is useless advice.

I also explore what moderation means, how this phrase is actually just dieting disguised, and questions to ask yourself when you’re about to eat.

In This Episode, We Talk About

The Instagram post that inspired this episode,
How “eat is moderation” is framed as not a diet, but is actually code for dieting,
That moderation is up for interpretation, but usually lines up to rules and limitations,
How fitness and health professionals use this language to avoid talking about dieting,
How this implies that we can’t control ourselves, which feeds into fatphobia,
That appetite and food needs vary day to day,
That not honouring our needs ignores our satiety,
How anti-fat bias and fatphobia mess up the way we think about food,
Tips for overcoming the scarcity mindset,
How this advice often backfires,
Questions to ask yourself when you’re about to eat,
Plus so much more!
