There are a lot of buzz around Health at Every Size so I decided to do a post specifically telling you all the facts about what it actually means. The good thing about this concept is that its a mindset, not a plan, not something you have to pay for to learn about, and finally not a diet plan.

So without further ado here is what HAES means:

• The weight-neutral approach

• The truth about intentional weight loss

• The cost of sustaining intentional weight loss

• Set-point weight theory, the famine response, and breaking down weight science

• The history of HAES and the non-diet approach

• Fat activism and the fat acceptance movement

• How HAES incorporates intuitive eating, joyful movement, and self-care

• The importance of size diversity in the HAES movement and embracing the genetic determination of body size

• The caveat of HAES with eating disorder recovery and weight restoration
