HTL 031: Weight loss through intuitive eating; the anti-diet approach, with David Orozco

 

Today’s topic may be completely outside the box for some when it comes to how you approach the topic of food and its effect on your body and your mindset about it. 

My guest is  David Orozco, the Host of the ONE SMALL BITE podcast. He is a registered dietician and nutritionist who describes himself as an anti-diet food therapist.

Anti-diet. How does that sound to you? Intriguing? 

He and I are going to discuss some different ways to think about food and eating.

For instance, have you ever considered food as medicine?

Are you familiar with the term intuitive eating?

Most people understand that food can be very social but have you ever acknowledged the emotional component of it?

Many have a love-hate relationship with food, but in this talk, we are going to introduce you to the concept of compassion-driven eating.

Food is your friend. Your body is your friend. And when you get your head on board with this, things change! 

Enjoy this conversation as David dispels some fear and misconceptions about food.

Check out Episode 21, The Out-of-the-Box Guide to Fitness with Andrew Takata for more info and insight about this concept.
