International No Diet Day
International No Diet Day…
The 6th May of each year is International No Diet Day and young Australian women and women from all over the world are told to go out and eat cake. But at the same time this day highlights the problems associated with constant dieting. Instead body image should be focused on, women should be allowed to be seen as individuals and be accepted for who they are.
This day will also help to promote healthy eating habits.
Many young women are on diets because of peer pressure and the pressure to be thin. A lot of women also have disorders that don’t help in their fight to stay slim and the pressure makes it worse for them.
Because of the expectations of young women in our communities, dieting constantly leads to a lot of eating disorders such as Bulimia and Anorexia and malnutrition.
