We’ve all heard the myths: “Eat less, exercise more and you’ll be happy.” “If you eat a salad for lunch every day, you’ll soon have the body of your dreams.” “The only way to get fit is to join a gym and lift weights.” These are the lies that diet culture has been telling us for years. But it's time to put an end to them and start recognizing what is actually true when it comes to health and wellness.
Myth #1 - You have to be thin in order to be happy
A common misconception is the idea that the only way to be truly happy is to lose weight. In reality, mindful eating and being mindful of one's emotions is key to sustained physical and emotional wellbeing. Our health isn't just about our physical appearance; it also includes how we relate to food and our own bodies. Instead of focusing on dieting and traditional weight-loss methods, developing your mindful eating can help you create a kind and healthy relationship with food so that you can better enjoy the journey towards health & happiness.
Myth #2 - Exercise is All You Need To Be Healthy
Exercise is important for our physical and mental health, but it's not the only thing we need to do to be healthy. A healthy lifestyle also includes adequate sleep, stress management techniques, a balanced diet full of whole foods, and plenty of water. All these things are necessary for a healthy body and mind; exercise alone won’t make up for an unhealthy lifestyle overall.
Myth #3 - You Can't Enjoy Food Without Guilt or Shame
This myth perpetuates disordered thinking patterns like restrictive diets or yo-yo dieting that keep people stuck in a cycle of guilt and shame around food choices. The truth is that we can enjoy food without guilt or shame; instead of focusing on calories or fat content, focus on how you feel after eating certain foods—do they energize you? Make you feel sleepy? Make your stomach hurt? This type of intuitive eating can help you recognize which foods make you feel good versus which ones don't so that you can make healthier choices going forward without feeling guilty about every bite!
We're here to remind you that diet culture myths are just that—myths! They're meant to keep us in a state of confusion about what is truly healthy for our bodies and minds. Don't believe everything you hear about nutrition; trust yourself first and foremost when it comes to making decisions about what goes into your body. With these three tips in mind, let's work together towards finding true balance between nourishment and pleasure!
