For the HAES naysayers and those fighting to end obesity, we urge you to examine why these beliefs are so deeply held and what about challenging them is challenging you.

A fresh take that I hadn’t heard before was you don’t NEED to love your body (though you absolutely should cherish this if you do), but your body always deserves RESPECT, no matter it’s size or shape. This feels more approachable, especially for people who are still a while away from truly loving their body. Diet culture and unattainable #bodygoals contribute to burnout, overwhelm and feeling out of control around food. It's time to embrace a new approach. It is true that many diseases are more commonly found in heavier people. However, that doesn’t mean that weight itself causes disease. Blaming fatness for heart disease is similar to blaming yellow teeth for lung cancer, rather than considering that smoking might play a role in both. And telling people they need to lose weight is a lot like telling someone with a cold to stop sneezing so much—it may not be possible and won’t make the cold go away.

We could spend an entire day discussing what this means in all of its nuances, but at its core, I think we all understand. Baked potatoes are real food but sour cream and onion chips are not; a roasted pork tenderloin is real food, but pepperoni is not; and 100% maple syrup is real food, but splenda is not. None of these foods is bad or forbidden, but the more often we choose real, whole foods, the better off we are.

It’s okay, I’ll wait for the gasps and murmurs to settle down. Hear me out. Obesity can cause many problems but it is not, itself, the problem. It is, in fact, a symptom, a consequence of our collective habits, behaviors, and preferences. When we fixate on a symptom, ignoring the tapestry of circumstances that brought it into existence, we miss the opportunity to make real, lasting change. It’s also, quite frankly, exhausting. For those who feel the stigma of a fat body or fear of a fat body, we want you to know this isn’t your personal failing, it’s our culture that is failing you. It’s not easy to appreciate your body in a culture where your body is vilified. Oppression, by removing us from belonging, is writ large upon our bodies and literally killing us. When the culture and the medical world are constantly pushing the idea that “obesity” needs to be eliminated, it’s not the fat cells that are feeling that stigma—it’s the fat people. This hierarchy of bodies is nothing new, with roots in racism, slavery and every other attempt to rank bodies. We can no longer pretend that being less likely to be hired or get promotions, being paid less, receiving biased medical treatment, being socially excluded and bullied are attempts to help people “be healthier.” These are the direct consequences of living in a culture that vilifies and fears fat bodies and that treats the people living in them as morally lesser beings. You might think that would be a career-ender, a confession I ought not dare utter aloud. After all, what do dietitians do when faced with an obesity epidemic, if not help people achieve a healthy weight? Weight loss should be my bread and butter (or, perhaps more appropriately, my organic whole grain bread and mashed avocado?), but lately, I’m kind of, well…over it.From 1st July 2021, VAT will be applicable to those EU countries where VAT is applied to books - this additional charge will be collected by Fed Ex (or the Royal Mail) at the time of delivery.

I received Lyndi's first book late last year and loved what she had to say. As a nutritionist and dietician, her advice made sense, so I wanted to read more. If you're coming to Coles by car, why not take advantage of the 2 hours free parking at Sainsbury's Pioneer Square - just follow the signs for Pioneer Square as you drive into Bicester and park in the multi-storey car park above the supermarket. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. You don't need to shop in Sainsbury's to get the free parking! Where to Find Us don't beat yourself when you don't think you eat perfectly, and don't engage into "I've been bad so I now have to be good" pendulum behaviour, If you’re not sure where to start, here are my top five recommendations for becoming healthier that have nothing to do with weight.Another key takeaway was that your body is trying to keep you healthy and wants what’s best for you. Your hunger cues should be trusted and listened to. There’s a lot of psychology that comes into play when you stop listening to what your body is saying, and follow strict diet rules / health fads / exercise regimes. Kind, compassionate book about how to resist the constant pressure from society, family and friends trying to dictate how you should eat and how you should look. Great reminder how pervasive and flawed the "thinness=health" formula is, and that our bodies should let us do what we enjoy, no matter how they look or what the scales say, and for that we need energy. Want a donut? Eat a donut. Eat ten. No, you don't need to go for a run afterwards, driven by guilt. When no food is off-limit, it becomes considerably less enticing. First you eat a lot, then you stop craving it. It's very hard to eat more than 300g chocolate in a day, every day. stop commenting on your weight and weight of anyone else (or engaging into any conversations about weight), especially around children,
