By Laura Cipullo, CEDRD, RYT I grew up setting and ultimately achieving goals whether it was around grades, exercise, food or even something as mundane as keeping my room perfectly clean. I soon realized this focused mindset was and is both a blessing and a curse. Making honor roll, learning to love physical activity and …

It’s a new year and, naturally, there’s a “new” diet that leads many of us to question our food choices and lifestyle. More recently, I have observed a strong attraction to the ketogenic diet. The advertisement stands outside of GNC have changed from Paleo-supplements to Ketogenic versions, the grocery store is quickly stocking more fat-friendly, carbohydrate-free products marketed to sell overnight, and the promises of weight loss and super-charged energy that come with a ketogenic diet seem to be going viral.

Minimal indigestion is not typically a serious problem, but it is an annoying one, involving bloating, feeling too full at the beginning of a meal or after, nausea and stomach pain.

It can interrupt sleep, cause you to cancel appointments, make you feel like not working out, and just generally put a damper on things.

Even though strides have been made in the body-positive movement, we still live, by and large, in a diet-happy culture. Women’s websites and magazines try to promote body positivity, but they also publish news about the latest fad diets with annoying regularity. Both types of articles must be popular with audiences or they wouldn’t publish them, and I think that says a lot about us as women. We want to embrace body positivity, yet we’re still stuck thinking we have to be a size 6 (or what-have-you) to be “perfect.” Those who are older can remember when it was even worse: The body-positive movement wasn’t even a thing, so we lived in a world where bigger bodies were never celebrated in magazines or TV, not even a little. All of us –regardless of age — have been subtly brainwashed for years to think diets make us healthier and prettier, but the truth is health does not come from weight and all sizes are beautiful. Celebrities face even more pressure to look thin, but now more and more are speaking out about not dieting. Their voices are important because they have the reach to influence the most vulnerable.
