anti-diet culture

Anti-diet culture challenges the idea that weight or appearance should determine a person's worth. It emphasizes rejecting dieting, weight loss as a moral obligation, and restrictive eating habits often promoted by societal standards. Instead, it promotes accepting diverse body sizes, listening to one's body's natural cues, and fostering a healthy, balanced relationship with food without guilt or shame. The movement aims to dismantle harmful dieting practices that can lead to disordered eating and psychological distress, advocating for self-compassion, body positivity, and respect for individual health and preferences regardless of societal beauty norms.
