Trying to ditch diets forever [1], eat intuitively [2], and embrace body acceptance doesn't happen overnight, and it doesn't happen easily on your own, especially since we're living with diet culture and fat phobia. You need support from all around you to offer inspiration and tips along your journey, to remind you why you're living this way, and to keep you on track when you start to feel the pull to go back to harmful habits.
With the help of registered dietitian Sammy Previte, co-owner of @breakdietrules [3] on Instagram, we've compiled a list of the most helpful resources for non-diet, HAES [4] (health at every size), intuitive eating, and body positivity. Whether you like to read, listen to podcasts, or scroll through Instagram, these valuable experts will help support your journey to be mentally and physically happier and healthier.
