  • The Fast Track Researchers' European Vacation

    The Fast Track Researchers' European Vacation
    Mar 27 2024
    In 2018, the entire world pushed back against the notorious "Fast Track to Health" trial, a $1.2 million tax payer funded experiment in which Australian teenagers would be subjected to a year of semi starvation. More than 70 years of weight science research unequivocally demonstrates that weight loss dieting doesn't work in the long term, and causes homeostatic damage. We also know that teen dieting, ESPECIALLY severe restriction, is a massive risk factor for disordered eating and eating disorders. Despite valiant attempts by the eating disorders community, and a viral change.org petition pleading for the Fast Track to stop, this brutal research was allowed to continue. 6 years later, the world's slowest Fast Track has reached its bitter end. The Fast Track research team have just sharted out a triumphant press release, and are planning a glitzy trip to Venice, Italy, to present their ASTOUNDING results. Don't miss this episode of All Fired Up, where I unpack this utter sh*tshow. TW: This episode is packed full of weight loss dieting, explicit talk of calories, 'O' words, and EPIC weight loss industry bullsh*t - so please approach with caution !

    My guest this week is a completely fired up Leah V, who shares her experience working as a fat, Black, Muslim model before the fashion industry ghosted her. Is diversity in fashion really happening, or is modeling sliding back into the dreaded 'Almond moms'/'heroin chic' era?

    Bright Line Eating: Rezoom Part 2
    Jul 25 2023
    In Part 2 of our series on Bright Line Eating, we chat with highly regarded neuroscientist Dr Sandra Aamodt about the neuroscience of body weight. The weight loss industry like to tell us that what we weigh is a matter of personal choice, when in reality, our bodies have a "defended weight range", commonly known as the set point, which resists weight loss. On diets, our bodies release a whole cascade of hormonal and physiological processes which take us back to where our bodies feel comfortable. We also talk about how food addiction - is it real? Or are the people pushing these ideas just peddling a re-packaged eating disorder?

    Bright Line Eating: Rezoom Part 1
    Jul 18 2023
    Welcome to our digitally remastered and updated series on Bright Line Eating. This is a super extreme diet cult which cherry picks neuroscience to convince people that they are 'food addicts', selling one of the world's most restrictive (and expensive) diet regimes to keep people hooked on the dream of achieving 'goal weight'. Bright Line Eating is the lucrative brainchild of neuroscientist Susan Peirce Thompson, a charismatic saleswoman who holds nothing back when it comes to the hard sell. In Part 1 I ask who IS Susan Peirce Thompson - a food addict who has finally found the answer to her addictions, or someone who is still desperately stuck in her eating disorder? DO NOT MISS this story, it's a ripper!
