SECOND BITE: “Ladies Eat Salad, Men Eat Steak and Burgers” - Exploring Gendered Eating Tropes with Dr. Emily Contois

47 min

Second Bite: We're bringing back one of our most popular episodes of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp! As part of our Second Bite series, we're revisiting some of our favourite conversations from the archives. This episode was originally released on an earlier date, but the discussion is just as relevant today! In this episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I will be talking to Dr Emily Contois,  an Associate Professor at the University of Tulsa specializing in how identities are formed at the vital intersection of food, the body, and ideas about health. She is the author of “Diners, Dudes, and Diets: How Gender and Power Collide in Food Media and Culture” and co-editor of “Food Instagram: Identity, Influence, and Negotiation”. Today we will be diving into the intersection of gender norms and food choices. We will discuss how women are socialized to choose light dainty foods like salad whereas men are encouraged to eat hearty meals like steak and potatoes. We will be discussing the sneaky ways that diet culture and the food industry plays to these norms (ie. how foods are marketed to women vs men). We’re gonna talk about the “cool girl” story arc in TV and film (think Sex and the City and Gilmore Girls) and how that can be really damaging to young women’s relationship with food and their body. And I’m going to leave you with some actionable tips on how to reject these gendered food expectations which may specifically come in handy during the holidays when food judgement is at an all time high. Check in with today’s amazing guest: Dr Emily Contois, Associate Professor at the University of Tulsa.  Follow ⁠@emilycontois ⁠ Website: ⁠https://emilycontois.com/⁠ Diners Dudes and Diets: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/Diners-Dudes-Diets-Collide-Culture/dp/1469660741⁠ Food Instagram: ⁠https://www.amazon.ca/Food-Instagram-Identity-Influence-Negotiation-ebook/dp/B09YDNDK87⁠ 👩🏼‍💻 RESEARCH LINKS: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/14/11/2240⁠ ⁠https://link.springer.com/article/1...

Are Additives REALLY to Blame for the Risks of Ultra Processed Foods? (You Might be SHOCKED)

24 min

In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we’re back with Part Two of our ultra-processed foods deep dive, exploring why certain ultra-processed foods may make us eat more, even when their nutritional profiles look similar. We unpack the science behind food texture, eating speed, energy density, and satiety, including clinical trials showing how simple changes to food structure can dramatically impact calorie intake. Plus, we explore the food matrix, why whole almonds and almond butter deliver different amounts of usable energy, and whether additives and preservatives are really to blame for overeating—or if something else is going on. Here’s a run down of what we discussed in today’s episode: Can Ultra-Processed Foods Affect Health Without Extra Calories? Why Food Texture Matters More Than You Think How Slower Eating Reduced Calorie Intake by 369 Calories The Connection Between Eating Speed, Energy Density & Overeating What Is the Food Matrix & Why Does It Matter?

Are Ultra-Processed Foods Actually Bad for You? The Science Is Messier Than You Think

24 min

In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we’re kicking off Part One of our ultra-processed foods deep dive to separate the science from wellness culture fearmongering. We unpack the research linking ultra-processed foods to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic health conditions, what the evidence actually says about food additives and gut health, and whether processing itself is really the problem. Plus, we explore the NOVA classification system, why not all ultra-processed foods are created equal, and what clinical trials reveal about their impact on calorie intake and weight gain. And stay tuned for Part Two, where we’ll investigate why certain ultra-processed foods may make us eat more, from texture and eating speed to digestion and calorie absorption. Here’s a run down of what we discussed in today’s episode: What Actually Counts as an Ultra-Processed Food? The Problem With the NOVA Classification System Do Ultra-Processed Foods Really Cause Chronic Disease? Why Not All Ultra-Processed Foods Are Created Equal Are Food Additives Really Harmful to Your Health? Do Emulsifiers and Preservatives Damage Your Gut? The Study That Changed Everything About Ultra-Processed Foods Why Ultra-Processed Foods Can Make You Eat 500 More Calories Can a Healthy Ultra-Processed Diet Still Lead to Weight Loss?

Is Food Noise Just Hunger We’ve Been Conditioned Not to Trust? A RDs Honest - Yet Controversial Take

20 min

Here’s a run down of what we discussed in today’s episode: In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we’re taking a deep dive into “food noise” and whether we’re starting to pathologize normal hunger, cravings, and thoughts about food. We unpack the many factors that can drive food preoccupation, from appetite and reward pathways to genetics, restriction, rigid food rules, and eating disorders, plus why GLP-1 medications may quiet food noise for very different reasons. Most importantly, I’m sharing seven questions to help you understand where your own food noise may be coming from and whether quieting it is actually improving your relationship with food—or simply making it easier to eat less. #foodnoise #GLP1 #Ozempic #dietculture #intuitiveeating #eatingdisorder #nutrition 👩🏼‍💻 RESEARCH LINKS: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41387-025-00382-x.pdf https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-01941-w https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15930436/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39649010/ https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/eat.70090 — DISCLAIMER:The content in this episode is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is never a substitute for medical advice.

Can GLP-1s Treat Eating Disorders? One Woman’s Controversial Story Is Challenging Everything

35 min

In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I’m joined by author and eating disorder research advocate Paige Gordon, who lived with bulimia for 22 years before starting a low-dose GLP-1 medication that she says eliminated her drive to binge and purge. We explore whether biology, appetite signalling, and reward circuitry could play a larger role in some people’s eating disorders, and whether GLP-1 medications could eventually have a therapeutic role beyond weight loss. This is a nuanced conversation about food noise, bingeing, purging, recovery, and what Paige’s experience could mean for future eating disorder research. Here’s a run down of what we discussed in today’s episode: What Does the Urge to Binge and Purge Actually Feel Like? When Recovery Doesn’t Make the Food Noise Go Away What Changed After Starting a GLP-1? Can Different Causes Create the Same “Food Noise”? Did the GLP-1 Treat the Eating Disorder—or Suppress the Symptoms? What Does Recovery on a GLP-1 Actually Look Like? Could GLP-1s Ever Be Studied as a Treatment for Bulimia? Could Paige’s Story Be Misused by the Weight-Loss Industry? Are We Overcorrecting Toward a Biological Explanation?

The SURPRISING Truth About Butter, Saturated Fat & Health (The Research SHOCKED Me!) | Fat Wars Part 2

33 min

In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we’re back with Fat Wars — Part Two, turning our attention to butter, beef tallow, coconut oil, and the saturated fat comeback. We unpack the science behind saturated fat, cholesterol, and heart disease, including LDL, ApoB, and the controversial studies used to defend saturated fat. Plus, we explore why not all saturated fat sources are created equal and why what you replace butter with may be the most important part of the debate. Did butter deserve a correction, or has wellness culture taken its comeback too far? Here’s a run down of what we discussed in today’s episode: How Butter Made Its Big Comeback Cholesterol 101: LDL, HDL & ApoB Explained Are “Big Fluffy” LDL Particles Actually Safe?

We unpack the claims around omega-6 fats, inflammation, oxidation, and toxins, why seed oils have become synonymous with ultra-processed foods, and what the evidence actually says about their impact on our health.

In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we unpack why knowing how to eat “healthy” doesn’t always translate into actually doing it.

Why Fiber is the NEW Protein (Weight Loss, Blood Sugar Management, Gut Health & More) - PLUS MASSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
