Understanding Diet Culture
Diet Culture has deep societal roots, idealizing thinness and driving negative consequences like eating disorders and body dysmorphia. Dr. Tovar discusses how Diet Culture shapes our behavior, Relationships, and overall well-being. She identifies signs of being entrenched in Diet Culture, such as chronic dieting and extreme focus on appearance.
Why Diets Fail
Dr. Tovar emphasizes that diets are inherently flawed. The body resists deprivation, leading to compensatory behaviors like overeating after dieting. This yo-yo dieting cycle harms physical and mental health, proving that dieting isn’t sustainable for weight loss or wellness.
Instead, Dr. Tovar advocates for intuitive eating, honoring the body’s natural hunger and fullness signals. Her book, "Deprogram Diet Culture: Rethink Your Relationship with Food, Heal Your Mind, and Live a Diet-Free Life," offers a seven-step method to break free from the diet cycle and embrace a healthier Lifestyle.
