7 Truths That Aren’t Talked About Enough
1️⃣ Diets fail for most—short-term weight loss followed by long-term weight regain is the norm - even with GLP1s.
2️⃣ Health is much more complex than just weight.
3️⃣ The scale/BMI is not a very useful tool for assessing health.
4️⃣ Health-supporting and life-enhancing self-care patterns instead of worrying about the scale are far more beneficial.
5️⃣ Researchers have found that restriction and deprivation typically lead to overeating.
6️⃣ Many people find that when they learn how to slow down and become more mindful of their body’s cues throughout the day, they are able to find a more satisfying and pleasurable eating pattern that aligns with their inner body wisdom. This is a very different approach than counting calories or portion control.
7️⃣ Engaging in exercise for the sole purpose of weight loss often makes movement less enjoyable. When weight loss is no longer the sole focus, people are able to discover pleasurable forms of movement and notice other benefits, such as reduced stress, anxiety, and improved energy throughout the day.
✨ Changing your relationship with food and your body can be life changing. It’s not easy in a world that is very noisily constantly selling the next quick fix…but it is possible and soooo worth it.
