Weight loss is taught to us at every level. No more so than as a Nutritionist / Dietitian. And yet the data speaks for itself. Most (95%) of diets fail. Many folks regain more weight each time. Weight cycling is metabolically dangerous. Weight stigma kills. We could go on.So how is that professionals like us; educated in the weight-centric, medical-model; became Health at Every Size® (HAES®) aligned? Where do we learn about it? Why does it matter?For this episode, we wanted a wider perspective than our own and were so fortunate to be joined by Shana Spence and Sam Previte.Shana is a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist based in New York.
