Health at Every Size

Health at Every Size is based on the simple premise that the best way to improve health is to honor your body. It supports people in adopting good health habits for the sake of health and well-being (rather than weight control). Health at Every Size encourages:

• Accepting and respecting the natural diversity of body sizes and shapes.

• Eating in a flexible manner that values pleasure and honors internal cues of hunger, satiety and appetite.

• Finding the joy in moving one’s body and becoming more physically vital.

Linda Bacon's book, Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight, provides more detail about HAES, including information on the science that supports it and tools for implementing it in your life.
