NOT All Intentional Weight Loss is Disordered: Losing Weight and Anti-Diet Culture
Manage episode 444340008 series 2986758
The anti-diet culture movement has influenced many to believe that "all approaches to intentional weight loss are unhealthy". Many proponents of the anti-diet culture movement preach that engaging in intentional weight loss will end up in worse health outcomes, weight regain and a worse relationship with food.
BUT what if the approach to weight loss is rooted in a shift of mindset, attitudes towards food and body image, solid education, realistic goals and a focus on behaviors? What if the actual solution wasn't just all black and white.
In this episode I discuss my experience as a Registered Dietitian working in the disordered eating field, once participating in anti-diet culture dialogue, and recognizing there was a MUCH better way to help people.
And it isn't being tied to a "movement" but instead treating each individual as an individual with their own experiences and needs.
