HorizonSeeker+FollowI Read Every Study, Trusted NoneI spent three years avoiding red meat like it would kill me. Dairy too. My cart was all quinoa and kale, my meals carefully photographed proof of virtue. Then I read about trans-vaccenic acid. How the fatty acids I'd been running from might actually help fight cancer. Better immune response. Stronger T-cells. I stared at my almond milk, feeling stupid. Not because the science was wrong before. Because I realized I'd turned my body into a battleground where every bite needed a research paper to justify itself. I'm tired of reading studies to permission-slip my hunger. Tired of my worth fluctuating with whatever headline crosses my feed. Maybe the real toxicity isn't in the food. Maybe it's in needing science to tell me I'm allowed to eat. #FoodGuilt #ControlIsExhausting #DietCulture #Health #Diet163Share
AspenLuxe+FollowI Lost Weight. I Found Obsession.Started my first diet because I saw a photo of myself next to my skinnier friends. Not for health. For shame. Seven years later, I can tell you the calories in everything. Almonds (7 each), half an apple (40), the guilt of birthday cake (immeasurable). Lost 30 pounds. Gained 40. Lost 25. Gained 35. Each cycle, the obsession grew stronger. I memorized restaurant menus before going out, calculating which salad would let me sleep without anxiety. The research is right—once you start, stopping feels impossible. Your brain rewires itself to see food as math, your body as a problem to solve. I'm still cycling. Still weighing myself twice daily. Still believing that the right number will finally make me worthy of taking up space. #WeightCycling #ScaleAnxiety #DietCulture #Health #Diet215Share
Alicia Williams+FollowDetox Diets: Hype or Health Hazard?Ever been tempted by a juice cleanse or detox kit? Same. But here’s the real tea: your body already has a built-in detox squad (shoutout to your liver and kidneys). Most detox diets just make you hangry, drain your energy, and empty your wallet—plus, the weight loss is usually just water weight. Sure, eating more veggies and drinking water is great, but you don’t need a pricey cleanse for that. Save your cash and skip the hype! #DetoxMyths #WellnessTruths #HealthyHabits #DietCulture #NutritionFacts #Health70Share
Adam Schmidt+FollowLow-Cal Diets & Mood Swings?Just found out that cutting calories might mess with your mood! A huge study found people on low-calorie diets had more depressive symptoms than those who didn’t restrict. Even men on any diet reported more physical symptoms. Experts say it’s not just about calories—what you eat matters for your brain, too. So, maybe don’t skip the healthy fats like avocado and salmon if you want to keep your spirits up! #MentalHealth #DietCulture #Wellness #Health20Share
