The anti-diet movement is gaining popularity, but will it help you lose weight? Learn what registered dietitians have to say about the intuitive eating trend.
In today’s culture, “diet” is often synonymous with restriction and deprivation. Ironically, the word originates from the Latin word “dieta,” which simply means anything you eat or drink in a day. But social media influencers have taken the word to a whole new level.
In response to these trends, some registered dietitians advise a different method coined the “anti-diet.” The aim is to bring about a healthy connection with and enjoyment of food—rather than focusing on every morsel you eat and categorizing foods as “good” and “bad.” The anti-diet trend also honors people's preferences, lifestyles, cultural diets, and joyful movement. While it's true that you may see a registered dietitian occasionally say, “I felt like eating a bowl of M&Ms for dinner, and I did," this isn't typically the norm. These statements take the anti-diet approach in the opposite direction, and that isn’t what the concept is about.—an approach that promotes eating when you're hungry and stopping when you feel full.
But, this approach takes time to achieve. For this reason, it's important for people to establish care with registered dietitians and healthcare providers trained and educated in this practice.
Besides, when people make diet changes to reach a particular number on a scale, changes are often short-lived, adds Wilson.
