Today, we're breaking diet culture!
-- A quick note as to why I wanted to make this video --
"You eat carbs and dairy??" My friend said this to me once with a tone of utter shock and horror as she watched me eat a bowl of mac n cheese. "How are you so lean?" she asked. I was at a loss for words. I didn't quite know how to explain that entirely eliminating any food groups is entirely unnecessary to achieve any sort of aesthetic goals. On top of that, carbs are actually helpful in reaching aesthetic goals because they make your workouts more effective. By the time I started explain that, she had practically stopped listening. Everything I was saying was flying in the face of the diet culture dogma that she had been internalizing for so long. So to her, I sounded crazy.
This is just one example of a time that my lack of adherence to diet culture has been questioned. People are repeatedly flabbergasted that you can be lean and still eat pizza, donuts, ice cream, carbs, dairy, fried foods, bread, etc.
But the TRUTH is that you CAN eat these things and still reach your aesthetic goals.
Diet culture has lied to you to sell you products and pills. Fear is an effective marketing tactic. If you can create a fear, you create an industry. Make carbs scary and you can suddenly sell millions of dollars of carb blocking pills, keto bars, and protein pasta.
And companies have been leveraging this for years to drive a profit.
I wanted to make this video to share my perspective on food and how I personally have found balance outside of all of the diet dogma. I wanted to use this as an opportunity to talk through how I have explored my own relationship with food, challenged conventional views, and found a place that makes me feel balanced and healthy. How I can eat to feel strong, and energetic, and vibrant. How I can feel good.
Did I have to eat only fear foods for a day to do this? No. But I also wanted to challenge myself to make sure I actually wouldn't feel guilty or scared of eating this way. I've never eaten this way before and I wasn't entirely sure how I would feel about it. I wanted to prove to myself that I actually am free of all of the fear and guilt around food.
And as it turns out, I felt no guilt or shame or fear eating this way. The only negatives to this was that my stomach was angry at me for about four days. I felt vaguely nauseous and had some stomach cramping for a while. (Which obviously is NOT ideal but that is a conversation for another day). So all in all, I won't be doing this again anytime soon but I hope it opens up some good discussion and helps some of you let go of some of the fear and shame and guilt you hold around food ❤️
