3 Sneaky Ways Diet Culture Takes Over Life
Do you remember how easy food felt when you were a kid?
If you immediately feel nostalgic & have memories of food being intuitive you’re not alone.
You were born an Intuitive Eater.
Most people have uncomplicated memories of eating when hungry, losing interest, scurrying off to play, grabbing a snack ETC.
So what changed in your intuitive relationship with yourself?
Why did you become uncomfortably aware of your own body & the choices you make around food?
DIET CULTURE.
Whether you like it or not, this is a culture that you’ve been indoctrinated into, probably without even realizing it.
Here are 3 sneaky ways that diet culture has crept in & is taking over your life:
1. Cultural messaging. This includes all of the mixed-beliefs around health, body shape, what, when, how much to eat ETC. This shows up everywhere from fashion magazines to Doctors offices to your co-workers cubicle.
2. Social expectations. You’ve been taught to live your life based on other people’s standards around health or excellence. This erodes self-trust + the ability to listen to your body & often leaves you feeling “stuck” or inauthentic.
3. Metrics to measure health. Rather than teaching emotional coping, healthy communication & sustainable self-care, you’ve been taught to measure health in “good/bad” external ways tracking devices, apps, plans & programs.
Diet culture is everywhere. And it often creates a sense of disordered “normalcy” within your own relationship with food & body.
This is exactly why I support clients in unlearning diet culture so that they can rebuild trust with their bodies & return to an easy, intuitive relationship with food.
You DESERVE to enjoy life & feel present each day in your business, relationships & activities without feeling preoccupied by judgment, guilt or shame.
THIS IS FOOD FREEDOM.
THIS IS INTUITIVE EATING.
