Butterfly: Let's Talk3 Feb 2021

The tough truth about diets

We can’t escape the diet culture that surrounds us almost everywhere we go. Every year people start a diet as a new year’s resolution. We also know that the majority of those have been abandoned by February. It leaves those who have dropped the restrictive program feeling like they’ve failed and possibly worse about themselves than before they started. This is because the messaging around health and weight is focussed on thin, muscular bodies that might be unrealistic for a lot of us.
The dieting industry doesn’t allow for diversity in body size. It tells us that higher body weight is a problem that needs to be fixed through restrictive dieting and exercise regimes. This is the message we’ve been told for decades. But the facts tell us it’s not working. If it worked, wouldn't there be a massive reduction in obesity rates? Restrictive dieting can also be a trigger for eating disorders.
Experts are now telling us that restrictive diets almost always result in overall weight gain in the long term. In this episode, we hear from leading dietitians and individuals with lived experience who are focusing on health rather than weight to help people with body image issues and eating disorders find long-term recovery.
