“Bottom line, this book makes me happy.”🤩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “100/10” may be my new favorite ranking 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I teared up a bit at: “Nothing I’ve ever read had given me this hope...I feel like I’m on a new adventure to really be myself; I never imagined I’d feel this way.” 😭 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This one also resonated: “Although my mind was aware of the soul crushing effect dieting was having on me, my heart was not ready to give up on diet culture, until now.” ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Unapologetic Eating is about SO much more than just food. Using food as the entry point, I wrote this book to help you explore more about yourself, your beliefs, your values, and what you truly want out of life. This book is about food and eating, but the real subject is unlearning, questioning everything, relearning, and--ultimately--transforming your life.⁠ ⁠ You can use the link in my bio to order a copy - it's available on all the sites including Amazon, Indiebound, and Bookshop.org. For people outside the US, it's at Bookdepository.com. ⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can also download the first two chapters for free at www.alissarumsey.com/book ⁠ If you've already ordered a copy, I would SO appreciate a review - Amazon reviews really are critical to the success of a book and you can leave one on Amazon even if you bought your book somewhere else 🤗 ⁠ Questions about Unapologetic Eating? Thoughts if you've already started reading? Please share with me below 👇🤩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #unapologeticeating #unapologeticeatingbook #unapologeticliving

I still struggle sometimes to name the work that I do. The term “anti-diet” is often used to describe what I consider weight-inclusive nutrition care, but there’s sometimes confusion about what “anti-diet” means. So here are some of my thoughts👇 “Anti-diet” does NOT mean: anti-weight loss, anti-nutrition, anti-health, or anti-person who diets. Rather, it means: Anti-the-oppressive-diet-culture that causes us to feel “less than” & then use our time, energy & money to "fix" or shrink ourselves in order to healthy, loved, accepted. It means: Anti-the-oppressive-diet-culture that causes us to deny what we really want/need in favor of what society deems “acceptable”. It means: Anti-the-oppressive-diet-culture that disconnects us both from our bodies AND our true selves. That keeps us small, hidden & busy trying to shrink our bodies to fit a supposed “ideal” instead of fully living & trusting in our intuition. I’m anti-the(racist, sexist, classist)oppressive-diet-culture that keeps people from stepping into their own full, unapologetic power. I do not shame or blame anyone for wanting to lose weight. It makes sense why they would want to bc, in doing so, we are promised belonging, health, happiness. Giving up the idea of losing weight can bring about the (legitimate) fear of being judged, disrespected or worse. Very real oppression exists in our society; it’s understandable that someone would want to protect themselves from this injustice by losing weight. Moving away from dieting and holding an “anti-diet” stance is NOT about convincing people that they shouldn’t want to lose weight; it’s about freeing people – especially folks w/marginalized identities such as women, fat people, and BIPOC people – from historically rooted systems of oppression. Everyone has body autonomy & can pursue weight loss if they want to. BUT I also believe in informed consent. So we have to talk about things like: -The societal forces involved in the desire for weight loss -The 👎 statistics about the efficacy of long-term weight loss -All the neg side effects pursuing weight loss has -The evidence that weight does NOT equal health Thoughts? Questions? What did I miss?👇

We added two members to our family last weekend: meet Ginny and Lucy 😍 With all the love these two have been getting on my stories, I figured it was time for a Gin & Luce feed post ❤️ They were both found separately, alone outside at ~4 weeks old and were rescued by a local animal organization here in Brooklyn @brooklynanimalaction. Ginny was found in the wheel well of a car with Virginia license plates; Lucy was found in a garage by a girl name Lucy (lol Pete calls them out auto-kitties). They were in separate homes for the last few months but their foster mom’s thought they’d get along and, as you can see here, that is definitely the case! Ginny - Gin - Gingin - is ridiculously athletic, with wild jumps and pounces and leaps. She literally did a mid air backflip yesterday 😳 She keeps us on our toes! She’s also super affectionate and - when she’s not running all over out apartment - loves pets and cuddles and head rubs. Gin loves to play with Lucy and is the best big sister. (Check out the highlight on @danaandthecats page to see how she was rescued from a car wheel well!) Lucy - Luce - Luce Magoose - baby Luce - at ~two weeks younger is the baby of the pair. She loves chasing after and trying to keep up with her sister - anything Gin is doing, you know Luce will be trying it next. She’s the sweetest little baby and has the most adorable little sleepy eyes (Pete jokes that she’s like me, in that it takes her forever to wake up 😆). These two love bugs are sweet and playful and cuddly and ALL of the things I was hoping for. They’ve settled into our home so quickly and, needless to say, I am completely in love ❤️

I’m not a huge supplement person but one that I’ve been taking consistently for years: omega-3 supplements. While I eat & love fish, I know that I often don’t eat enough of it to get sufficient omega-3 fatty acids - an essential type of fat that supports our heart, brain, joint, eye, skin & immune health, but one that our bodies cannot make on their own. So I am super excited to share about @korikrilloil because their omega-3 supplement is so fantastic (spoiler alert: it’s not fish oil so there is ZERO fishy aftertaste!). Even the newest additions to our household like Kori! Swipe to see how Ginny & Lucy also seem to know a thing or two about how great Omega-3s are 😜 Ha & check out Pete getting in on the Kori photoshoot action too 😂 Kori Krill Oil is made in the USA with wild-caught Antarctic krill that is processed immediately on boats to preserve freshness (you can even scan the QR code on the bottle & see exactly where it came from👌). What I love about it: 👉No bad aftertaste - since Krill Oil omega-3s digest better than other fish oils, there is no fishy aftertaste🙌 👉Superior absorption: Krill Oil omegas are the most natural omega-3 form with phospholipids our bodies like, which means better absorption compared to fish oils. It is clinically proven to raise your omega-3 levels (it is the omega-3 superfood!). 👉Certified sustainable - I love when a company has sustainability in mind: the operations behind Kori Krill Oil have earned the highest sustainability credentials, better than most omega-3 sources. 👉Third-party certified - it’s made in the USA & the capsule quality is certified by independent third-party labs, which I always look for in supplements 👍 👉More nutrients - Kori Krill Oil is also a good source of choline which supports our nervous system & contains the antioxidant astaxanthin. Head to link in my bio to learn more about Kori Krill Oil🤗 Reminder: My content is general info & is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or a qualified health professional with any questions you may have about supplements. #koripartner #korikrilloil #korimakeslifesuper
