Dear Channel 4. What were you thinking? Oh maybe this is going to bring in the viewers and up our ratings. Which I guess it will. But having worked really hard with a tv show to get credible nutrition advice out there… this makes me super sad.

It is always worth working on recovery from an eating disorder. I want to tell you there is HOPE. I see others recover and I believe it for you. Ready to take the next step or try a different way? Let’s chat.

Remember there is no need to go on a diet, use any diet pills, potions, injections. January can be a huge money making time for the wellness industry. Let’s choose to not make them richer and instead ignore diet culture this year.

I honestly don’t get fireworks. Yes they are very pretty but surely they can’t be good for the environment? Just me?

Hey you don’t need to go on a diet on 1st January any more than you do on 31st December. Let 2025 be the year we stop letting diet culture tell us what to do with our bodies.

Food is not a moral issue—no guilt required! Did you eat differently to usual over Christmas? Are you feeling overwhelmed by thoughts of guilt or shame about food? Here’s the truth: Food does not define your worth. It’s okay to eat differently during the Christmas period.

Christmas can be so hard if you suffer with an eating disorder. So try not to pass comment on someone’s food, their eating, their weight, their body shape this year. How about leaving diet talk in 2024 too?

I’m a dietitian…. - I eat chocolate most days. - I can’t tell you my macros or how many calories I eat. - I rely on ultra processed foods like shop bought bread and cereal bars. - We sometimes have a quick meal like a bought stuffed pasta with a sauce. - I drink wine. Life is about balance.

Bone health is so important to be aware of. This study shows that even if you have “first time” anorexia your bones can be affected. Those with longer term anorexia were 13.4x more likely to have bone fractures than healthy controls. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39572404/

There is an increased risk of bone fracture even in the early stages of AN. This could be related to a time lapse between the initial symptoms of AN and formal diagnosis. This suggests guidelines reco...

If you watched the BBC2 programme on Ultra processed food , I’ve got a message for you. (If you didn’t watch it I don’t recommend you do if you have/had an eating disorder) Now I agree, we shouldn’t be basing the majority of our diet on UPFs, we also should not be scare mongering about food.

Clinic chat today with a client. “After not being on Instagram for 2 weeks I’m doing much better as I’m not seeing so much triggering content”. This shouldn’t be the case but we know the algorithm is unhelpful. It’s key to unfollow certain accounts, diversify your feed and take SM breaks
