This post is very relevant to our discussion about obesity. Although this is my first time learning about weight-neutral nutrition, I believe it should be implemented more, especially in primary care! Many could benefit by thinking more holistically and less judgmental. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
I wanna talk about what weight-neutral nutrition is because there is still so much confusion and concerning takes on it from non-practitioners. Weight-neutral nutrition is about prioritizing health and well-being over the number on the scale.
