Diet Culture is BS: Recent Episodes

Dr. Trina Dorrah, MD

I created this podcast to fight back against diet culture. I'm Dr. Trina Dorrah, MD. I'm a physician and emotional eating coach. I'm also an eating disorder survivor. Our society teaches women to hate their bodies. We're told we need to shrink ourselves and take up less space to be beautiful. We're taught that the solution to all of our problems is found on the other side of a diet. The problem is...so much of what we've been taught is wrong. In this podcast, I explore topics such as diet culture, emotional eating, body neutrality, intuitive eating, self-compassion, and disordered eating. The diet industry is a multibillion dollar industry that thrives on making women feel unattractive. It's time to fight back. I invite you to join me.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported my podcast. As I transition my coaching practice to general life coaching, I have decided to end this podcast. 

Creating a podcast was something I wanted to do for a long time, and sharing this podcast with you has been one of the highlights of the last 2 years for me. 

As a general life coach, I am trained to coach on anything. So if you do want help with intuitive eating and/or improving your relationship with food, I can help you.

If you want to coach on something else, I can help you as well. 

Thanks again for going on this journey with me. I really appreciate it. 

IMPORTANT UPDATE:I have changed my coaching niche from binge eating to general life coaching. This change allows me to continue coaching on binge eating while also coaching my clients on anything else they want help with.

If you are a woman in medicine and you're interested in coaching, you can schedule a time to meet with me by going to my website: https://coachingsaveslives.com

❤️, Trina

We've all experienced her. The mean girl in our head that tells us we're not good enough, not smart enough, not thin enough, and not attractive enough.

The mean girl is good at taking our insecurities and throwing them in our face. But what if there were a way to quiet the mean girl?

In this episode, I'm joined by Julie Glynn, author of "If My Ass Were Smaller Life Would Be Perfect: And Other Lies The Mean Girl In Your Head Tells You". She talks about her book and how she helps her clients quiet the mean girl once and for all.

How often do you finish eating, then notice that you are stuffed? Is it easy for you to know when you've had enough, or do you just keep eating until your plate is empty?

In this episode, I talk about a concept that you can use to help you reliably recognize when you've had enough to eat. You'll also learn how to set yourself up for success with mealtime so you don't mindlessly overeat. Finally, I'll teach you how to stop eating when you're comfortably full, even if there's still food on your plate.

Have you ever been about to start a new eating plan, but before it officially starts, you have one last meal where you eat everything you won't be able to eat starting tomorrow? If so, you've likely engaged in "last supper" thinking.

Last supper thinking happens when you decide to deny yourself food you love because you think it's bad or unhealthy. The problem is, when you plan to deny yourself, you end up eating as much of that food as you possibly can. It's your way of saying goodbye to that food.

It may make sense in the moment, but this strategy is ineffective in the long run. It promotes overeating, binging, guilt, and restriction. The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way.

In this episode, I talk about the last supper mentality, where it comes from, why it's harmful, and how to get rid of it forever.

Dr. Jackson-Bekemeier was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in adulthood. In this episode, she talks about how this diagnosis completely changed her relationship with food. She went from being someone who ate whatever she wanted without thinking twice about it, to someone whose thoughts were dominated by food.

She talks about how this led her to have an unhealthy relationship with food, and how she has been able to turn this around.

Her story is relevant for so many, and she offers advice for any listeners with a similar experience.

She also offers advice from a patient's perspective for the clinical team caring for patients with chronic illness.

If you have a chronic illness or know someone whose chronic illness has negatively affected their relationship with food, this episode is for you.

When it comes to your relationship with food and your body, what is your identity? How do you think about yourself? How do those thoughts influence your feelings and actions? How does the identity you've chosen affect your results? What do you think would be possible for you relating to food and your body if you adopted a new identity?

In this week's episode, I answer these questions. I also share my personal experience of how my life changed once I shifted my identity from that of a binge eater to someone who is able to control myself around food.

Have you ever felt like you can't stop eating your favorite food? Do you worry that if you give yourself unlimited permission to eat what you want, you won't be able to stop eating?

If so, this episode is for you. In this episode, I discuss the concept of habituation. Food habituation happens when your over-desire for food decreases because the food is no longer as exciting or interesting as it used to be. It doesn't mean you don't like the food anymore. It just means that you no longer feel obsessed with eating it.

If there's a food you're struggling with, this episode will teach you how to use habituation to stop overdesiring it.

In this episode, Dr. Wendy Schofer and I discuss the American Academy of Pediatrics' Clinical Practice Guideline for the Evaluation and Treatment of Children and Adolescents with Obesity.We talk about Dr. Schofer's belief that it's time to shift the conversation we have with our kids and in our clinical practices away from weight. We also discuss the dilemma physicians face in trying to move away from a weight-centered approach when so many families come to the doctor's office wanting to discuss their child's weight.

We don't claim to have all of the answers, but Dr. Schofer is clear that our current focus on weight is not helpful for our children. Dr. Schofer is a pediatrician, lifestyle physician, and coach. She helps parents who are worried about weight.

This episode is jam packed as we discuss the challenges of embracing weight neutrality in medicine. Dr. Al-Rufaie and I discuss the weight bias inherent in medical training and what we're doing to combat it.

We talk about how to have conversations with patients and parents about weight without causing harm and perpetuating bias. We also talk about how to interact with our children so we do not encourage disordered thoughts about food and their bodies.

These are tough topics and we attempt to address them in a way that is useful to both physicians and other practitioners in direct patient care, and to parents who are concerned about their kids' weight.

Dr. Zeena Al-Rufaie is a pediatrician and obesity medicine physician. She is also a certified life coach who coaches working moms who want to lose mental and physical weight in order to serve as a role model for their children.

Listen in as we talk about what eating disorders look like, why we develop them, and how they are treated.

We also discuss how you can get help if you believe you may have an eating disorder. This episode is jam packed with info to help you learn more about eating disorders.

Have you ever been between 2 sizes of clothes, and you purposefully chose the smaller, more uncomfortable size in hopes that it would motivate you to lose weight?

In this week's episode, I talk about why you may be tempted to do this, and why buying the bigger size that feels best is actually the better solution.

I explain why continuing to wear the smaller more uncomfortable size may be keeping you stuck in the cycle of binging, and I give you a couple of strategies that will help you choose the size that fits.

I used to be thin...for 3 years.

For almost every year both before and after that 3 year period, I lived my life in pursuit of thinness.

When I finally reached my goal, it took SO MUCH EFFORT for me to stay there, and I was miserable.

Why? Because that wasn't where my body wanted to be.

Me, at that level of thinness, was not good for my mental, emotional, or physical health.

That's what I explore in this week's episode. Yes, you can do what it takes to reach your goals. But my question for you is if your weight goal is worth reaching? How much time and effort are you spending to reach and maintain your goals? What is your pursuit of thinness costing you?

What is restriction and why does it lead to overeating?

In this episode, I talk about 2 kinds of restriction: physical and emotional. Physical restriction happens when you don't allow yourself to eat what you enjoy, and emotional restriction happens when you don't allow yourself to feel and process your emotions.

Ultimately, restricting food AND/OR restricting yourself from feeling your emotions will lead to overeating and binge eating.

Make sure to listen through the end, because I give you a sneak peak of a new series coming up on the podcast starting with episode 50.

Have you ever had someone say, "Are you sure you should be eating this?" or "I'm just saying this because I'm concerned about your health".

Or, have you ever told yourself, "You can't eat that. It's bad and it will make you gain weight."

Regardless of if those statements come from others or from your own thoughts, those are all voices of the food police. The food police is a term used to describe any judgmental thoughts about food that tell you what to eat, when to eat, or how much to eat.

It is possible to refute the food police, and this episode will show you how.

Cheat Meals.

Weight loss programs love to advertise that they offer cheat meals so you can continue to eat whatever you want while still losing weight. But does this strategy actually work?

There's a saying that if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. This saying is definitely accurate when it comes to cheat meals.

In this episode, I discuss the truth about cheat meals - which is that they offer false promises while simultaneously setting you up for failure. I talk about why they sound like a good idea in theory, but why in actuality, cheat meals increase your likelihood of overeating.

Finally, I tell you what you can do instead of dieting to get healthier and improve your relationship with food...WITHOUT needing cheat meals.

How do you prepare when you know you're going to be eating more than normal?

Maybe you've been invited to dinner or you're going to a party. You know the food you'll be eating is a bit heavier than what you normally eat.

What do you do to get ready? Do you try to save up calories by eating less throughout the day? Or do you continue to eat like you normally do? Which strategy works best?

What do you do when you binge eat? I say when as opposed to if because when you struggle with binge eating, at some point you will binge again. No one is a perfect eater.

When you were a child, did you ever have an adult tell you not to get up from the table until you ate every bite of food on your plate? If so, you may have been initiated into the "clean plate club".

The problem with the clean plate club is that it causes you to ignore your body's own hunger and fullness cues. Instead, it teaches you to rely on an empty plate to tell you when to stop eating.

One of the biggest dangers of being part of the clean plate club is that you may unintentionally pass this habit on to your kids. If children are taught to eat even when they're not hungry, that can set them up for a lifetime of overeating and binge eating.

In this episode, I talk about why we may think asking our kids to clean their plates is helpful, but why it actually isn't in reality. I also talk about what you can do instead to support your children at mealtimes.

In this episode, I talk about your big why and your big why not. Your big why is your reason for wanting to change. It's the reason why you want to stop binging, dieting, obsessing about food, or hating your body. 

Your big why not helps you understand what your life will look like if you do not change. It reminds you of what your future looks like if you continue to follow the rules of diet culture.

Healing your relationship with food is not always easy. There will definitely be times when you want to give up and go back to  your old habits. During those times, remembering your big why reminds you of why it's worth it to continue moving forward.

Did you know that your thoughts about your body determine how you feel about your body? It's easy to believe that if you could just lose a few pounds, or if you could change the way you look, then you'd be able to accept your body.

In reality, what you weigh and the size you wear are just facts. We call these facts "circumstances". Your circumstance DOES NOT create your feelings. Instead, your THOUGHTS about your circumstance determine how you feel.

In this episode, I explore the importance of choosing your thoughts wisely. I show you how choosing your thoughts can help you change your opinion about your body for the better.

Have you ever compared your weight, size, or shape to someone else? Do you compare how you look now to how you looked in the past? How does this comparison make you feel? Does it benefit you?

"What are you making it mean?" is one of the best questions to ask yourself when you encounter something or someone who upsets you. This question allows you to explore the underlying thoughts you have that are causing your feelings.

In this episode, I use real-life scenarios to teach you how to incorporate this question into your life.

By exploring what you're making it mean, and questioning if your interpretation is helpful, you can change your feelings.

Whether it's an uptick of your weight on the scale or an unsolicited comment about your size, understanding what you're making it mean is one of the best ways to examine your emotions.

In this episode, I discuss one of the most common questions I get: "Trina, I still want to lose weight. If you're anti-diet, how can you help me?"The truth is I'm not anti-weight loss. I'm anti-diet, and that's a big difference. I'm against diets that force you to deprive yourself and go hungry. I'm against diets that simply aren't sustainable for more than a few days. I'm against diets that tell women we are the problem when we regain the weight, even though the diet was always designed to fail. I am against diets that encourage women to lose weight through unhealthy ways.

So my issue is not speicfically with weight loss. but with dieting and diet culture. In this episode, I talk about the issues I see with traditional dieting. I also discuss why promising sustainable weight loss through traditional dieting is a lie.

In this episode, I talk about the various comments adults make about food, the body, and weight to their kids and in the presence of their kids. Many times, we don't think twice about the comment, but kids are always watching. They hear what we say and they watch how we treat ourselves and others. They internalize these messages, and they are increased risk of dieting and disordered eating when we teach them these patterns. The good news is, it's never too late to change what we do and how we speak in front of our kids. We can help our kids have a healthy relationship with food starting right now.

New Podcast Name...Diet Culture is BS.

What is diet culture? According to UCSD:

  • Diet culture refers to a set of beliefs that values thinness, appearance, and shape above health & well-being.
  • The concept places importance on restricting calories, normalizes negative self-talk, and labels certain foods as “good” and “bad”.
  • Individuals subjected to “diet culture” messages have been conditioned to believe that not only does thinness and dieting equate to health, but that the pursuit of health makes one person morally superior to another.

Why did I change my podcast? 

I realized I want to talk about more than emotional eating, so I wanted the name of my podcast to reflect that.

As an emotional eating coach, I know that ending emotional eating is about so much more than just food.

In my podcast going forward, I want to talk about all of those things. In addition to emotional eating, I want to talk about diet culture, intuitive eating, self-compassion, self-love, body neutrality, health at every size, disordered eating, and so much more.

So there you have it. New podcast name. Same podcast host. Same commitment to help you break free from emotional eating AND the diet culture that helps promote it.
