Has Diet Culture Wrecked Your Gut?

Diet culture. When eating a traditional, nutritionally supportive diet goes out the window and all that matters is whatever the next trendy physique is in style. Whatever the next most profitable and trendy way of eating is that will give you false promises that you will reach your health and weight loss goals. Restrictive diets. Low carb. Fasting. Only eating if you deserve it. Food is the enemy. Excessive exercise. Cheat days. Skinny teas. Appetite suppressants. Detoxes No pain, no gain. 1200 calorie diets. Glorified eating disorders. You know the drill. We have gone from “heroin chic” being in style in the 90’s, zero curves and being malnourished AF to now being obsessed with big booties and six packs. Not to mention all the other fad physiques in between these 2 eras. It’s one big mind fuck. Let’s see what’s in style in a few years that we can all strive to be. 🙄 One thing I know for sure. Diet culture is ruining our health, our metabolism and our digestive system. It is putting us in a chronic stressed out state. What does our digestion require to run optimally? Lots and lots of nutrients AND a robust well functioning metabolism. Funny how dieting actually down regulates and destroys our metabolisms huh? Talk about false promises. One thing I know for sure is I will never look like Megan Fox or whoever the hell the world idolizes as a vision of beauty. And you know what, that is okay. I am not willing to starve myself, live a boring life and have my health go to shit to strive to be something I am not and neither should you. We all have false expectations of what our bodies should look like. Look at your family, look at your genetics. Let’s be realistic here. Look at other markers to determine health. Weight, restriction, ability to workout excessively and your will to not eat does not say anything about your bodies overall health. Swipe right to learn more about how diet culture has messed with your gut. Don’t be fooled into the next trendy physic at the cost of your health and digestive system. Diets were so last year. I dunno about you but I’d rather have a bangin’ digestive system than a bangin’ body. Nourishment always wins.
