Summary
Welcome to this special series of Don’t Salt My Game celebrating the release of my new book How to Just Eat It. For the next several weeks, I’ll be posting two new episodes of the podcast (Tuesdays and Fridays) that correspond with a chapter of the book to help you take your learning further and deepen your intuitive eating practice. How To Just Eat It will be released on Thursday 7th January so make sure and pre order your copy now (links below). Episode 2 of this series will drop on Friday!
In today’s episode I’m talking to the incredible Fiona Sutherland, a dietitian and yoga teacher, better known as The Mindful Dietitian, who is helping us build our Intuitive Eating Toolkit; a selection of skills and tools that help us lay the foundation for our intuitive eating practice.
In this episode we talk about:
- What acceptance is and isn’t and common misconceptions about acceptance
- How we can lean into uncomfortable feelings to help us heal our body image and relationship with food
- Why acceptance doesn’t mean we are OK with things like fatphobia or racism and other systems of oppression that harm bodies
- What exactly values are and how they differ to goals
- How we can find our core values and use them to steer us in the directions we want to move in
- How diet culture disconnects us from our values and moves us away from acceptance towards dissatisfaction
I’m also excited to share a guided created activity by Tasha Bailey that helps us weather emotional storms and a definition for the glossary on page 36 of your book from Christy Harrison

| 0:02.0 | Hey team, welcome to Don't Salt My Game. I'm Laura Thomas. I'm a registered nutritionist, |
| 0:09.0 | director of London Center for Enchated Eating, and author of Just Eat It, as well as my new book, How to Just Eat It. |
| 0:16.0 | We're here having conversations with game changers in nutrition and health, food, body liberation, and some other |
| 0:21.5 | things thrown in for shits. This episode is the first in a series accompanying my new book, |
| 0:27.3 | How to Just Eat It, a step-by-step guide to escaping diets and finding food freedom, |
| 0:32.5 | which comes out in two days if you're listening to this the day it drops. Okay team, this episode is the companion |
| 0:41.0 | episode to chapter one of how to just eat it, which is all about laying the foundation for your |
| 0:46.2 | intuitive eating practice and building a toolkit of supportive strategies and skills that will |
| 0:51.2 | help guide you through the rest of the book. Oftentimes when we start |
| 0:55.5 | the intuitive eating process, when we let go of diet and food rules and start opening up to our |
| 1:01.4 | internal world of hunger and fullness, we might become more aware of thoughts, emotions and feelings |
| 1:08.0 | that dieting had dialed way down. This can be a pretty unwelcome reality check |
| 1:12.7 | for a lot of folks who may be more used to using dieting, food rules and extreme exercise as a |
| 1:19.3 | distraction or coping mechanism instead of feeling their feels. When uncomfortable or unwanted thoughts |
| 1:27.0 | and feelings pop up during the intuitive eating process, |
| 1:30.6 | our instinct might be to turn back to dieting. |
| 1:33.0 | That would be a totally understandable response given the lie that diet culture teaches us, |
| 1:39.2 | that shrinking our bodies is the ticket to happiness, which of course is a false promise. |
| 1:46.1 | But it's understandable that you might be drawn back to the familiarity and safety of dieting. Intuitive eating, on the other |
| 1:52.5 | hand, invites us to learn how to sit with the discomfort and lean into it rather than turning to |
| 1:58.3 | things which might be harmful and destructive like disordered eating and |
