Ditching Diet Culture

Ditching Diet Culture

When did we start prioritising our physical aesthetic over our mental health? Well, that might be because we are living in the throes of diet culture. So, what is it and how have we become so conditioned into thinking so much of this behaviour is normal? This week the girls unpack the all-consuming topic of dieting, touching on their experiences of buying into the trends and becoming addicted to a restricted lifestyle to fit into an “aesthetic”. Throughout the episode the chicks provide you with some tips to help you enjoy your life beyond diets and diet culture.
