One of the most insidious manifestations of #dietculture is the glorification of weight loss no matter the circumstance/cost. Often apparent in oncology patients who rejoice in disease/treatment related weight loss and are reluctant to engage in strategies to maintain weight.

Most unhelpful infographic. Ever. @WHO this is extremely stigmatising.

"If blame worked," says Dr Abd Tahrani, "we would have a very thin society by now. Everybody who has obesity has been blamed an endless amount of times, either by their doctors, by their neighbours or their family, or wider society. It's not working, please stop it." β¬οΈ

Incredible debate in today's @BDA_Obesity #BDAObesityEvent 'Is Obesity a disease?'. Wonderfully thought provoking arguments. 1/2

2/2 @AbdTahrani arguing the biological factors that indicate that #obesity is a disease e.g. genetic determinants and @Jane1Ogden questioning if the terminology is beneficial or harmful in terms of problems and solutions. So interesting thank you!

Wonderful workshop on post #bariatricsurgery weight gain from @Mpmok, @sallyabbottRD and @ShuttlewoodEmma. Insight into what affects post surgery weight maintenance including nutrition and the damaging effect of shame and internalised weight stigma. #BDAObesityEvent @BDA_Obesity

Really interesting case study challenging our perceptions of what constitutes the need for re-referral to #bariatricservices and patients' feelings around weight gain.
