What’s diet culture anyway, and why is it so damaging? Is there an alternative to diets if we want to find another way? And what’s the best documentary on Amazon Prime at the moment?! We cover all of this and more in our second episode of Season One of Body Cons. Listen to Molly and Lottie’s recommendations for things to watch and avoid on telly at the moment if you want to feel good about your body, plus hear about the recommended read for the first Body Cons book club.
