Nutrition pros say it's the key to developing a neutral relationship with food — and your body.
Engage with food in a way that’s not all-consuming.
Secondly, when weight loss isn’t the determining factor for how you eat, your body might change or look different from other people’s — that’s athing. We all have different genes and metabolisms and we are not meant to all work ourselves into the same shape and size. Not only is that pursuit unsustainable, but it’s also likely to cause us harm. “Embrace natural body diversity and begin a journey to finding a neutral relationship to the appearance of your body,” Ackerman says.
If your friends and family ask you about food freedom, you can point them to resources to help them understand, such as food freedom accounts on Instagram and Twitter. IRL, you could help them unpack behaviors that stem from diet culture as they arise. “You can always leave conversations you don’t want to be part of or try to change the subject away from weight loss,” Catalano says. “Remember that there are so many other more important things we could be talking about than dieting.”If you find it too difficult to discuss food freedom with friends or family, but still feel the need to talk about it, there are so many outlets at your disposal.
