Manage episode 473371272 series 3563959
In this episode of "Make Peace With Food," host Emily LaVoie dives into the problematic world of "What I Eat in a Day" videos circulating on social media. Celebrating her first year as a podcaster, Emily updates listeners on her upcoming trip to Vietnam, where she plans to indulge in the local cuisine without guilt—a testament to her healed relationship with food. Emily then shifts focus to critique the trending "What I Eat in a Day" videos. She outlines four major reasons why these posts are harmful: comparison, lack of professional nutritional background, promoting disordered eating behaviors, and the false impression that mimicking someone’s diet will lead to physical resemblance. Throughout the episode, Emily emphasizes that food should be a source of joy, not stress, and encourages listeners to trust their bodies and let go of rigid food rules. This episode is essential listening for anyone navigating diet culture and looking to strengthen their relationship with food and body image.
