    The World Health Organisation defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". When your motivation to to "go on a health kick" comes from a place of body dissatisfaction (aka a place of self-hatred) you are likely attempting to hate yourself healthy (overlooking the fact that weight ≠ health). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Research published in the Journal "Psychology of Sport and Exercise" in 2011 investigated the psychological impacts of appearance vs. health motives for exercise and for weight loss and found: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - People who restricted their food intake were far more concerned about their appearance.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - People who didn't restrict their food intake were more motivated by health improvements.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - The more someone was exercising to change their appearance the worse their body image was⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - Exercising to improve health (without worrying about appearance) was associated with improved body image.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - Exercising to change appearance was significantly associated with worse body image⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The overarching sentiment of this body of research was those who ate intuitively and moved in a way that felt good had much better mental health, which is a hugely important and often overlooked part of health. You can see in my other posts that weight ≠ health, moving away from that belief was the best thing I have ever done and I hope you can join me on that journey too!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #veganuary #weightscience #haes #weightstigma #fatpositive #bodypositive #bodyrespect #healthateverysize #bmi #weightloss #diet #dietitian #nondiet #antidiet #melbournedietitian #vegandietitian #dietculture #weightlossdrugs #science #criticalthinking #criticaldietitian #nondietapproach #bodyrespect #wl #weight #health #fitness #veganfitness #plantbased #plantbaseddietitian
