The Toxicity of Diet Culture

Diet culture has always been around, but it seems to be hitting new highs as of late. In the Spoonie community, we don't have a stronger armor against the bombardment of diet culture. Actually, with our doctors and health professionals always telling us to be healthier about what we eat, how we exercise, etc., we can often succumb to these fad diets or "quick fixes" more easily.

This week we discuss why diet culture is actually toxic to the chronic illness community, and we need to focus more on our health rather than diets. That quick fixes and fad diets aren't our friends.

And like always, join our group discussions on our Facebook page. It's a place where you can always go to find that grace or community you need.

We also encourage you to check out our My Chronic Spoonful Life Planner where you can track everything going on with your chronic illness. It comes in a downloadable form that you can print, a digital form you can use in apps like GoodNotes and Notability, or a quarterly hard copy. 

Have a great week, everyone!
