Breaking the stigma & promotion of low calorie and restrictive diets
It's time there is proper nutrition education in which people understand how to safely fuel their body in a way that's sustainable. Ensure content on social media is limited, that supporting and reflecting healthy eating.Warnings & triggers should be put on content which promotes unhealthy habits.
In the health and fitness industry it's very prominent that there are common harmful misconceptions. For example calorie deficits that will sustain a toddler, meal replacement shakes, cutting out food groups. Promoting skinny tea, unrealistic and unsustainable diets in which result in dramatic results linking to Binge Eating Disorder, Bulimia, Anorexia. It is time we enforce boundaries for the public's safety and wellness.
