25.01.2022 Sarah Wilson has quit , quitting sugar. She now regularly eats cake, chocolate and drinks red wine. Perfect example of how restriction of food isn’t sustainable. No matter how long you keep it up, how good your willpower is , at some point you will just feel overwhelmed and end up bingeing on the very foods you were restricting. Great she has finally seen the light. Sugar can be part of a normal , healthy diet. It’s not the enemy! Annoying though that she wrote a book about quitting sugar and convinced many people that it was a good idea!

24.01.2022 I love cauliflower; but when I eat pizza, I want authentic Italian yummy dough.

23.01.2022 Fad diets are the fast-fashion of the diet world; they might look shiny and exciting for a little while but generally end up doing more harm than good - to your wallet, your waistline and your gut health!

20.01.2022 What do you want to teach your daughter? Diet culture? ; -healthy only looks like abs and a small waist. -you can always eat less and take up less space. -leading women only really look like one thing. ... -nip , tuck and smooth tummy and arch your back to look smaller, -drink laxatives and call it wellness. -spend a little more money, and restricted yourself just a little more, and happiness would meet you in the end. Or Self-love; - Self confidence that You are more than your body. -Self acceptance, your body is woven so perfectly by life. -Self worth, you are not something to be fixed, but something worthy of healing and love. -Self advocacy, to root for yourself, speak up and share, -Exercise and eat well out of love for this beautiful instrument you have been gifted.

19.01.2022 What would your life be like if you could end the battle to change your body weight and shape?

15.01.2022 Miracle’ diet product promotions are being banned by Instagram, the social media giant has announced amid growing criticism over celebrities pushing ‘get thin quick’ remedies. About time is all I can say!

15.01.2022 I often think the world has gone mad with its obsession over weight. Weight watchers, this is a step too far. Dieting in any form is harmful and doesn’t work long term. Dieting is the highest risk factor for developing an eating disorder. Our children do not need to be taught how to diet. This app is unethical and will only teach kids to hate their bodies and develop a poor relationship with food. Please sign the petition to stop this app.

14.01.2022 Food fears are real and can be overwhelming. Overcoming food fears takes you out of your comfort zone. Try to be curious and non-judgmental. Start by just smelling the food. then when you are ready take a small bite. Be mindful and see how the food feels in your mouth. If you can, swallow the food. Then reflect on your experience.

10.01.2022 The changes on Instagram and Facebook for advertising weight loss to under 18’s were largely the result activists standing up for young people and calling for their protection from diet culture and a weight loss industry that does not have our best interests at heart. The industry won't change, but we can. What if we, as adults, all stood up in this way for our own bodies and their right to be cared for and protected from the same junk too? Together perhaps we can tip the balance back and reclaim our health. @tossthescales.com

10.01.2022 Body shape is usually the first thing we notice about other women.

09.01.2022 Why is the way we provide food and talk about food at home important? Studies show it has a profound influence on our children’s relationship to food and their body. Use the tips in the green column to support your child develop a positive relationship to food and their body.

06.01.2022 Intuitive Eating is the antidote to dieting. It is not a diet. It is a therapy to help you get back in tune with your body and it’s needs. Your mindset is so influenced by dieting that it is difficult to understand the concept of Intuitive Eating and how it works. It is hard to imagine a life without rules. It sounds scary, it sounds like you are giving up and will just eat cake all the time and sit on the couch. But the experience of most people when they finish the therapy is the opposite. They find they are actually eating a more varied, adequate healthier diet than before. They find they are actually exercising more often than before. The difference is that their life is now flexible, non-obsessive and is on their own terms. They find their life is actually fun again and they can enjoy food without guilt and shame.

01.01.2022 A truly peaceful relationship with food is about self-care, not self-control.

01.01.2022 In recent years, there has been a big shift in eating more plant based. This shift in thinking can be contributed to a few reasons- health, animal rights, and environmental sustainability. These are reasonable reasons to decrease the amount of animal meats being consumed, however let's take a look at 3 reasons why you may not want to completely forgo animal based foods all together.
