Reposted from @eatfreelynutritiontherapy - The "it's not a diet it's a lifestyle" message can be so damaging. It, like all diets, puts all the responsibility on the person who is following whatever "guidelines" are involved and then all of the blame on said person who stops following it because it's likely too restrictive/rigid....ergo, it's not a lifestyle. #heresyoursign You might not be making a maintainable lifestyle change if: - you can't eat as much as your body is hungry for - you can't eat the foods you're hungry for - you have to eat/stop eating at certain times - you have "cheat days" - you have to avoid certain foods (and not due to allergies) - you can have certain foods only after a period of avoiding or after "earning" it - you have to move your body for a designated amount of time or particular way - you're unable to enjoy meals with others because of the restrictions you're following - you find yourself eating the same foods over and over due to limited choices that are "approved" This is by no means a fully inclusive list but hopefully provides some ways to notice diet culture #youmightbeonadietif #zerochanceitsntadiet #nondietapproach #nondietdietitian #haesdietitian #dietsdontwork #EDRD #intuitiveeating https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt85VK-lPl6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=aduk8eqvokqk
