But those results never last. 95% of diets fail. Weight regain is physiological, not a moral failing.

Wellness offers a powerful antidote to helplessness in the face of chronic disease. Studies indicate that structured wellness behaviors—regular physical activity, balanced nutrition, stress reduction—unequivocally improve cardiovascular health, metabolic function, and mental health outcomes (Warburton et al., 2006). The lifestyle provides a tangible locus of control.

You cannot maintain a body positive wellness lifestyle if you are constantly swimming upstream against diet culture. This requires a ruthless curation of your media.

Adopting a body positivity and wellness lifestyle is not the easy path. Diet culture promises fast results: lose 10 pounds in a week! Get a bikini body by Friday!
