#11: The Weight of Diet Culture | Why Diet's Don't Work


Listen Later

Diet culture has become so entrenched in our society and daily lives that we often don't even notice it. For many, to spend the six months between Christmas and summer on a diet or working to achieve a "bikini body" is just a regular part of our year. But despite our obsession with dieting and weight loss, obesity rates continue to climb, alongside rates of depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and eating disorders. 

In this episode I discuss:

  • What is diet culture
  • How diet culture impacts us as individuals, and as a population
  • The harm caused by diet culture
  • Why diets don't work
  • How to focus on health, not weight
  • More from me:
