How to get out of diet culture and why diet culture needs to stop.

For many people, especially women, dieting has pretty much always been a part of their lives. From magazines filled with weight-loss tips to humungous billboards of skinny women, reminders of the impossibly thin ideal are omnipresent. There’s always a new diet to try, a new health trend to get on, or another “body goals” to reach— it never stops. While it’s absolutely fine to wish to lose weight if it’s for health reasons or because of personal choice, it’s not okay when you feel like weight loss is being imposed on you by societal standards. Sadly, it often is. For these reasons, it’s important to recognize these examples of diet culture and learn how to get out of diet culture.

Diet culture is a set of beliefs revolving around the idea that food choices have moral value and that thinness should be valued above everything else.
Being thin is seen as the ideal and automatically equated to health. Losing weight is presented as the ultimate solution for a better and healthier life.
Foods are deemed as either good or bad and so are lifestyle choices. Certain ways of eating are demonized while others are glorified. Those who drink water and have salads after their morning yoga are superior healthy beings, while those who eat pizza and ice cream in front of Netflix are lazy and lack self-control. People who decide that the pursuit of health isn’t their top priority are looked down upon.
How to ditch diet culture.
Now that you know what diet culture is and the harm that it can do (which is already a great step in the right direction!), here are some ways to ditch diet culture. You should speak out when you hear phrases ingrained in diet culture (I mention them in the video!), you shouldn't comment on someone's weight or food choices, you need to move away from the all or nothing mentality and food guilt, and you should stop giving moral value to your food.
In this video I also give you better ways to eat healthier and lose weight if that's what you want. You'll realize why you need to leave diet culture!
