This workshop will introduce participants to Health At Every Size, a paradigm used by healthcare professionals to promote life-enhancing behaviors among people of all sizes, rather than promoting weight loss.
Participants will learn about some of the harms associated with approaches that equate health with weight and idealize weight loss, as well as the benefits of approaches that emphasize body acceptance and eating for satiety, pleasure, and nutritional needs rather than weight control.
They will learn about ways they can incorporate Health At Every Size principles and approaches into their lives and improve their relationship with food and their bodies.
