Diet culture is particularly insidious because it's lumped in with this suggestion that optimal. It can lead to really dangerous eating behaviors and often diet culture and that societal obsession with body image and thinness is a huge contributing factor. Just think about how much social media we absorb every day. All of that content that you're seeing on a day to day basis is being absorbed and processed subconsciously, somewhere in your brain.
This week we discuss the insidious nature of diet culture and how it convinces us we need to change our bodies to be happier. We discuss how diet culture has become so influential through normalisation, repetition across social media, social approval and early learning in childhood. Finally we talk about how to push back against the negative beliefs and behaviours ingrained in us by diet culture and embrace our bodies.
