Reclaim Your Life from Diet Culture—Starting This Festive Season
Have you noticed that the new year tidal wave of diet, weight-loss, and ‘wellness’ promotions has started? These companies are already positioning their products as the ultimate solution for shedding pounds in January.
If you’ve tried dieting before, you probably know how the story goes. It might have worked for a while, but months or years later, the weight crept back on, leaving you feeling like the failure. The truth? Dieting itself is unsustainable. It disrupts our appetite hormones, metabolism, and overall relationship with food. Research shows that only about 5% of diets lead to lasting results, so is it really you who’s at fault?
For many of the women I work with, dieting and food restriction have led to spiralling disordered eating behaviours and feeling utterly out of control around food. These patterns not only consume mental space and emotional energy but also overshadow joy, connection, and richness that life has to offer.
If you’ve been feeling weighed down by diet and weight-loss messaging, you’re not alone. There’s a better way forward, one that doesn’t involve falling back into the dieting cycle.
Check out this week’s bitesize video to explore how you can approach the festive season (and beyond) with a mindset rooted in balance and self-compassion.
