Diet Culture @dietculture - Tumblr Blog

It's wrong to try and ruin other people's bodies by spreading false info. You are making a mistake. There is still time to change and be a good person by stopping the fake info and actually listening and adhering to the facts.

I’m not sure exactly what you’re refering to, but I feel great about shit-talking diet culture so…

*shrug*

There are some very angry people in my notes and inbox this week. Apparently, I am “toxic” and “evil” because I reported the results of 50 years of weight-loss research. They are mad because the research definitively and conclusively demonstrates that long-term maintenance of weight loss is virtually impossible. They also think I am “delusional” because I criticize the medical establishment for keeping this fact a secret from the general public.

The truth is that the ineffectiveness and harmful nature of intentional weight-loss is well known within the scientific and medical communities. If pressed, most doctors will affirm that their clinical experience conforms to the scientific results: Basically everyone who loses weight will go on to regain that weight within 3-5 years. In 75% of cases, they will regain more weight than they lost.

This knowledge is why doctors became so desperate that they resorted to amputating parts of the digestive tract in the hopes that it might finally result in long-term weight-loss. Except oops, that doesn’t work either. Oh, and it causes death, addiction, malnutrition, and suicide. Whoopsie daisy.

Diet culture is fucking toxic. And people deserve to know the truth.

Stop associating food with guilt. There’s no shame in a slice of cake.

This popup was from a major women’s fitness magazine. Like, even if I was interested in this content I’d still be like “No thanks, I’m already hot & sexy”!!!! How annoying & insulting.

just wanted to share this outrage...

Isn't this just too much?? And that field doesn't appear to be editable in Wikipedia. Feeling ready for a boycott.

this isn't really a question, I just wanted to say. it's so bizarre how there is just no way in our culture for people (esp young girls) to figure out how to eat. between the corrupt diet industry and the corrupt food industry, we end up addicted to sugar, constantly dieting, and hating our bodies, with no way to even know what "healthy" means. and this system targets young girls so that they never even have a chance at healthy relationships with food or their bodies. it just makes me so mad.

Everyone basically should take the time to honestly work on their relationship to food and their body and give themselves permission to do what makes them happiest and what will benefit their mental health most. It’s not always easy, or simple, but doing this self-care work is endlessly valuable. /yadayadayada

No food is health food when you’re not healthy about how you’re eating it.

Ever wonder why 95% of dieters regain weight? One reason is because they are DUPED into believing and internalizing mantras like this. (BOTH fitspo and thinspo tout this message, with the former telling us that eating clean is going to make EVERYONE lose weight.) Deprivation of certain foods due to them often leads to overeating.

90% of eating disorders begin with a diet.

30% of all diets end in an eating disorder.

99% of dieters gain back all the weight and more.

Yo-yo dieting increases your chance of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and early death.

Diets are dangerous. Say no to diet culture.

Eat what you want. Love what you eat. Eat what makes you feel good. Try your best. Do what’s best for your body & your body alone.

Of course it’s unhealthy to be fat. If you’re fat, you’re going to have a rough time getting health insurance. You probably won’t get regular checkups and preventive care, and any health problems you might have (completely unrelated to your weight) will be a lot worse whenever you finally do see a doctor. Even if you have health coverage, you probably avoid going to the doctor if you’re fat. So you’re in the same situation. Why do you avoid going to the doctor? Every time you walk into a doctor’s office, the first thing they want you to do is step on a scale. Then you get the lecture, or the belittling remark, or worse, the weight loss advice. You figure, as long as you feel okay, why risk it? You don’t pay for abuse in any other setting, right? You value your mental health, so you stay away. If you’re fat and you do visit the doctor, he or she might decide to treat your weight, rather than your symptoms. You get a diet, rather than a diagnosis. The doctor says all your ills are caused by your fat. Six months later, you still have sharp pains in your heel or nasal congestion or shooting lights in your vision. So you find a new doctor. This time you actually get treatment for your plantar fasciitis or your sinus infection or your brain tumor. (These examples are based on actual cases.) Your doctor may not like fat people. A recent study found that fat women are a third less likely to get breast exams, gynecologic exams, or Pap smears. An exception: Fat and thin women get mammograms equally often. (The authors said that doctors may do exams more readily if they don’t have to touch fat patients.) Fat women are at increased risk for certain scary cancers (breast, cervical, endometrial, ovarian). Getting less preventive care, researchers concluded, may “exacerbate or even account for” this increased risk. It’s not the fat that kills us, it’s the fat hatred. this is so powerful. it’s fatshaming/phobia masqueraded in “health concerns”. is misogyny, women are valued for their bodies.

But What About Your Health?
