Happy Holidays!
I love to give anti-diet gifts around the holiday season. What started out as a “fun idea” in 2017 has turned into an annual project for me and my team! This year, we purposefully included new gifts that have not been included on previous versions of our gift guide, so with that in mind, check out last year’s anti-diet gift guide to find even more ideas!

- 2020 Anti-Diet Merchandise https://eatwithknowledge.com/anti-diet-gift-guide-2020/
A big thank you to Allison Milch, RD, CDN for helping me to research the list this year!
