Anti-Diet
Product Details
Help your clients reclaim their money, health, and happiness from the toxic diet culture with groundbreaking strategies from a registered dietitian, journalist, and host of the Food Psych podcast.
Explore the diet culture--a system of beliefs that equates thinness to health and moral virtue--and promotes weight loss as a means of attaining higher status, and demonizes certain ways of eating while elevating others. It's sexist, racist, and classist, yet this way of thinking about food and bodies is so embedded in the fabric of our society that it can be hard to recognize. It masquerades as health, wellness, and fitness, and for some, it is all-consuming.
Critically examine the diet culture and the multi-billion-dollar industries that profit from it, exposing how it robs people of their time, money, health, and happiness. Examine the history of diet culture, how it infiltrated the health and wellness world, how to recognize it in all its sneaky forms, and how letting go of efforts to lose weight or eat "perfectly" actually helps to improve people's health—no matter their size. Drawing on scientific research, personal experience, and stories from patients and colleagues, this course provides a radical alternative to diet culture, and helps readers reclaim their bodies, minds, and lives so they can focus on the things that truly matter.
