Mainstream weight science is built upon a plethora of assumptions. We now know that many of these assumptions about human body weight and health are flawed. I'll help you learn how to interpret weight-centric research for yourself, bust myths about body weight and health, and I'll present to you weight neutral research and discuss relevant content (including Health at Every Size, Intuitive Eating, and The Non-Diet Approach).

Ep 16 Dietary Quality: Measurement, Magnitude and Meaning
In recent years nutrition research has moved from a focus on nutrients to a focus on foods and eating patterns. Dietary quality broadly refers to the variety of foods in someone’s usual eating habits. In this episode I’ll be bringing you up to date on the current state of play with this kind of research, how impactful dietary quality is on health outcomes, and how you can use it and measure it in your practice.
Learning goals:
· Appreciate some of the methods used to try to quantify and analyse the way free-living humans eat
· Understand the concept of dietary quality and the types of measurement tools used to capture the construct
· Identify the associations between dietary quality, immediate, proximal and distal outcomes, BMI and mortality
Enjoy!
