Being anti-diet doesn't mean anti-knowledge of nutrition. Here is a great explanation of what it means to be an “anti-diet" Registered Dietitian.

In case you’re new around here, I fall into the category of “anti-diet” dietitian. Unless you’re a 20-something-year old who spends most of his/her time on…

“Dieting, not addiction, is the ‘gateway’ for altered reward pathways and feeling out of control with food.”

Diet culture, not food, is to blame for compulsive behaviors.

PSA: no this is not my wedding dress, but I have an important bridal topic I want to share with y’all! Throughout my engagement, friends/family/strangers have made many unwelcomed comments regarding my “bride bod” & quite frankly, I am OVER IT. Moreover, it won’t change unless I bring about some awareness while complaining (something I do well, like really well 😂). Anyway, some examples of the absurd assumptions people have made include:
- I must be “eating clean” (whatever that means 🙄) or that I am on a specific diet as part of wedding prep
- I didn’t get offered French fries or *insert “unhealthy” food here* because “she has a wedding dress to fit into” (I guess I should be happy bc it is finally a different reason beyond, “she doesn’t/can’t eat that bc she’s a dietitian” 😏)
- I was working out solely to get “in-shape” for my wedding day...
Let’s get something perfectly clear. Not every bride/human you meet is dieting or desiring a thinner body. Despite the commonality of dieting, there are individuals who do not & will not conform to diet culture. 👊🏼
Now, do I want to feel my best on my wedding day? Yes, of course, however; I strive for that every single day. Will I eat salads? Consistently, bc I love veggies & they physically make me feel GREAT. Will I say no to mac ‘n cheese? HELL NO. Mac ‘n cheese is a fav food of mine + it makes my taste buds happy. Should I only eat a few spoonfuls? Probably since I’m lactose intolerant lol, but not bc of kcals or fat grams. Will I exercise? You bet! As much as I desire bc moving my body is my favorite stress reliever & my body thanks me for it. But most importantly...remember that these are MY personal choices & MY business, just as it is for YOU! Don’t assume your disordered behaviors are automatically other people’s issues too. Personally, I am happy with my body + will be thrilled to see it in my wedding dress on my wedding day while marrying my best friend. I hope y’all love your body too!
Fellow brides/future brides, there is one thing I want you to remember: Get your dress altered to fit your body, don’t alter your body to fit into your dress.♥️
