Diabetes Digital Podcast by Food Heaven

Recently one of Wendy's BFFs posted a photo of a meal online and she was instantly food shamed. One of her followers quickly chastised her for not being vegan and went on to say that her way of eating was unhealthy and that she was basically setting herself up for a life of chronic disease. As dietitians, we wanted to take a stand when it comes to the rampant food shaming that is happening both online and in person. In this episode, we dissect what food shaming looks like, why it doesn't work and what to do instead.

Should you do that detox? We have been asked this question time and time again. What do you think about juice cleanses? The 48-hour cleanse? Tea-tox? The Master cleanse? Charcoal cleanse? You name it…we’ve probably been asked about it. Cleanses and detoxes seem to be the hottest thing in the weight loss industry today. But the fact of the matter is: There is no real evidence that detoxes live up to the claims, and when all is said and done, they can be a big hit to your bank account. Today we get into what detoxing is, does it work, and we share our top tips for enhancing your natural body detox systems!
