You obsess over working out to burn calories consumed

You're confused and frustrated hearing different advice from different people

You spend too much of your day worrying about food or what you should look like

Our health obsessed diet culture glorifies being thin, which in turn will negatively impact your body image. Diet culture perpetuates being healthy as being thin and anything outside of that narrow range is considered anything but. Celebrities and social media influencers glamorize diet culture or promote weight loss tools but this practice endorses being thin as the path towards acceptance, happiness, and health. Appearance does not provide a comprehensive picture of someone’s health and bodies that fall outside of this narrow range can live happy, fulfilling, and healthy lives. Furthermore, research shows that most weight loss programs or diets result in early rapid weight loss, a weight plateau, and a gradual regain back to baseline weight or greater. This weight cycling is associated with increased mortality and harmful effects on health.
