"Eat this. No eat that. Carbs are bad. You must try this new diet shake it changed my life. Want results like this? Here's what I did to lose 100 lbs in 5 days. This just in, food swaps to trim those thighs."

Ok, ok. I'll stop there. Look. None of this is getting us anywhere healthily. It's all just creating confusion so that we will be on and off diets for the rest of our lives.

All you wanted when you started thinking more about your health was to know what the heck your body needs. What helps your body run well, have energy, and focus to work that shift, climb that mountain.

Or ...well getting out of bed in the morning. period.

And yet all you have heard about "health" since you were 5 years old was in relation to dieting.

I believe we need a massive shift in the conversations we are having around food and our bodies.

From a young age, we pick apart our bodies, consume tv, news, and social media content that has us thinking our waistline is our worth. And, in turn we are sold into a diet > binge cycle rather than taught how to nourish and support our bodies and have a healthy approach to food!

We need to stop bringing so much attention to food restrictions and daily check-ins on the scale, and more attention to nourishing our bodies and tuning into how we feel!
