Hurray! It’s International No Diet Day. Now who wants cake and ice cream??
Wait! Hold the fork. That’s not what this is about.
While International No Diet Day is a day to ditch the dieting, it is not license to eat like there’s no tomorrow! Rather, it’s a campaign to challenge diet culture by promoting healthy relationships with food, movement, and body image.
(Hey! That sounds a lot like the Zest mantra - Eat Well, Live Fit, Have Fun!)
I may not be a diet expert. But I do know that diets don’t work. Here are the facts:
Americans spend over $60 Billion on dieting and diet products each year
95% of dieters regain their lost weight within 5 years.
Dieting is associated with greater weight gain and increased rates of eating disorders like bulimia, anorexia and orthorexia, an unhealthy focus on eating the right way!
Diets encourage self-hate and that’s no fun. Together we can reject diet culture with the help of these resources.
If you struggle with healthy eating then let the Zest chefs make it easy and convenient for you with (better for you) restaurant quality, freshly prepared meals customized to your individual tastes and preferences. Tell us more so you can get started.
