Food Is a Way to Connect with Others
"I've spent far too many years consumed in the chaos that surrounds the diet mentality. As a young teen, I suffered from anorexia nervosa—restricting food and overexercising—just to achieve that societal norm of what I thought beauty was. What I found through that journey was that I missed out on such a big part of my life! Food is not only a source of nourishment, but a beautiful way to connect with others. As a firm believer in all foods can fit, I've surrounded myself with many professionals who have that same philosophy. Let's dive in and hear what registered dietitian nutritionists have to say about dieting, while grabbing their favorite recipes too!" —Elizabeth Shaw,
