Thursday Jun 05, 2025

🎙️ The Hidden Toll of ‘Being Good’ with Food
Featuring Emily Szatrowski, RD – Eating Disorder Dietitian

What if “being good” with food is actually doing more harm than good?

In this episode of ALN Talk Radio, Susan is joined by Emily Szatrowski—eating disorder dietitian and nutrition counsellor at A Little Nutrition—to unpack the sneaky ways diet culture rewards restriction while quietly sabotaging our health.

Together, they break down why skipping meals, ignoring hunger, or trying to “earn” your food doesn’t just impact your energy—it messes with your metabolism, hunger cues, mood, sleep, and even your relationships.

Tune in to learn:

  • Why eating less isn’t a badge of honour

  • How meal-skipping fuels food noise and rebound eating

  • The biological reasons your body pushes back when underfed

  • The emotional, cognitive, and social toll of restriction

  • How to start trusting your hunger again—without guilt

If you’ve ever caught yourself saying “I’m being good this week” as you turn down a meal or snack, this episode is for you.
