Studies on "weight-neutral" approaches reveal that people can significantly improve their blood pressure, cholesterol, and mental health without losing a single pound . When we focus on eating vegetables because they give us energy (rather than because they are "low-calorie"), we change our psychology.
This approach is statistically a failure. 95% of diets fail. Most New Year’s resolutions are abandoned by February. Why? Because fear and shame are terrible long-term motivators.
Insisting every body is healthy at every size ignores real medical conditions (e.g., sleep apnea, joint stress, insulin resistance) where weight loss may be a helpful tool.
