Hola amigos! Welcome back!

 How to Identify a DietApp’s Approach is a DietDiet Research is Skewed What to Do Instead of Dieting

Episode Summary:
 
Diet culture – when will it end? Now, it is getting sneaky and claiming to not be a diet. But we see you diet culture. We see you. There’s a newer app, that rhymes with “fruit of the loom,” that is claiming to not be a diet app. David, your host, delivers a close examination and evaluation of this claim. Spoiler alert, this app is totally a diet. But, let’s nerd out over why! Knowing why you can totally ignore this app is empowering and will help you maintain an anti-diet mentality that will be more beneficial for your health in the long run. Tune in to learn about who created this app, how it recycles old dieting techniques, and what the app’s own research actually shows. This company’s app is a diet, but this is not about pointing fingers of intentional wrong doing, rather an example how our implicit biases play out in the real world. David brings in critical thinking and provides a more self-compassion approach towards habit changing.
