Facilitated by one of our well-being educators/counselors
Let’s Talk Diets
Facilitated by our Registered Dietitian
Diet culture is extremely prevalent in our society, with most adults having tried to diet at least once in their lifetime. With the number of fad diets and misinformation about nutrition out there, this workshop will explain some of the more popular diet trends and the risks of fad diets. Participants will learn why dieting can be problematic not only to one’s physical health but to their mental health as well, and discover ways to work on developing a healthier relationship with food, body and mind.
Intuitive Eating
Facilitated by our Registered Dietitian
Intuitive eating is an evidenced-based, non-diet approach that honors both physical and mental health and encourages dignity and respect for all shapes and sizes. The 10 Principles of Intuitive Eating are guidelines to help reestablish the ability to recognize internal cues such as hunger, fullness, and cravings, and to simply enjoy food again. Intuitive eating also helps to combat diet rules that may dictate when and what to eat, so that you are able to listen to internal cues again. This presentation will cover diet culture today, the psychological effects of dieting, and the non-diet 'health at every size' approach, before exploring the 10 Principles of Intuitive Eating.
