Healing your disordered eating
Research has continually proven there is no safe, sustainable way to lose weight. And those that DO lose weight intentionally, 80% plus will regain that weight and more within 2 years.
And that lose/gain cycle is more harmful to a person’s health- everything from an increase in heart disease to a higher mortality rate overall- than just staying the same weight.
If you're privileged enough to do so, you can change your habits to improve your health- like the ones listed above.
But weight loss?
Not a healthy habit you can create.
And more often than not, it's an outcome you have no control over.
