The hidden forms of dieting



When I talk about dieting with people, I’m often met with responses like “Oh but I don’t do keto or “insert well known typical diet here”.
The thing about the Diet Mentality & Diet Culture is that it’s so ingrained in our society (& somewhat celebrated) that we don’t even recognise it’s harm.
The first of the 10 Principles of Intuitive Eating is: Reject the Diet Mentality.
This therefore involves uncovering all of the hidden forms of dieting, warped wellness & the diet mentality in our culture.
I’m passionate about the journey of Intuitive Eating because we are living in a time of the most prevalence of eating disorders and disordered eating & diet culture is playing the most central role in it.
We are bringing children into the world with the un-healed parts of ourselves in regards to food, obsession over health & our body image, and it’s time we break the cycles.
