Health at Every Size (HAES)

Top 3 reasons why people don’t maintain their natural body weight

• Lack of “truthful” knowledge. Does your nutrition/diet knowledge come from the mainstream media? Advertisers who want you to buy stuff?

• Emotional eating. We all do it at some level – to numb sadness, anger, overwhelm, boredom, fear. Are you eating out of hunger or emotion?

• Diet Deprivation Backlash. Our diet causes us to label foods “good” or “bad.” The “bad” list grows to include everything with taste. Eventually we cave-in, eat something off the “bad” list, feel guilty and emotionally eat. Then we go back on the diet and the vicious cycle continues.
