Series home•Feed

Camilla Sage is on a mission to dismantle the toxicity of the diet culture and help women break free from the hamster wheel, the Diet Cycle and binge and emotional eating. It’s time to stop fighting with ourselves, our bodies, our willpower and the endless yoyo-dieting. But you also deserve to get what you want - a body that feels good and looks good, feeling comfortable in your own body, simultaneously experiencing freedom from the never ending mental chatter about when to eat, what to eat, how to lose weight and so on. But how do we actually get what we want, the body, the health, the freedom and the inner harmony? That is by showing up in the process from love, not self-shaming, rigidity and fear driven motivation. It might be super hard to see this for you right now, and that is ok. All you have to do is to be willing to take the first step on the journey and that’s what this podcast is all about.

The Body Betrayal: How Society Steals Our Self-Worth 13:51

5 days ago13:51

13:51

Today, we will expose how societal beauty ideals disconnect women from their bodies—and why this disconnection is the root of emotional eating, diet culture struggles, and self-loathing. Discover how we’re conditioned from childhood to view our bodies as projects to fix, and learn how to reclaim your innate "at-homeness" in your skin. Key Takeaways: We’re born fully connected to our bodies, but societal conditioning teaches girls to prioritize how they’re perceived (nice, pretty, small) over how they feel . Compliments based on appearance—not authenticity—seed lifelong body shame. Unattainable beauty standards (fit by only 1% of people!) are weaponized to sell diets. Women blame themselves for "failing," but the system is designed to keep them trapped in cycles of self-loathing and spending. Girls learn to shrink themselves—literally and figuratively. Hugging strangers when uncomfortable, staying quiet, and avoiding "taking up space" teach them their boundaries matter less than others’ comfort. Your body isn’t the problem—the system is. Healing begins by rejecting the myth that thinness = health or worth, and by rebuilding trust in your body’s wisdom.

The Good Girl Syndrome and The Patriarchy’s Trap 10:47

5 days ago10:47

In this powerful episode of The Diet Riot, Camilla dives into the first of the three pillars keeping women stuck in diet culture and emotional eating. Learn about The Good Girl Syndrome and the Patriarchy’s trap. Discover how societal conditioning from a young age shapes women into people-pleasers, disconnected from their own needs, desires, and bodies. It’s time to break free from the patriarchy’s expectations and reclaim your authentic self. Key Takeaways: The Good Girl Syndrome: From a young age, women are conditioned to be "good girls"—nice, obedient, and high-achieving. This conditioning is rooted in the desire for acceptance, love, and safety within the patriarchal system. Many women are so disconnected from their bodies that they can’t even recognize hunger or fullness cues. This disconnection stems from years of self-objectification and constant self-monitoring. The patriarchy conditions women to view themselves through the lens of others’ expectations, leading to a loss of personal perspective and authenticity. This robs women of their happiness, presence, and quality of life.
