If you’ve ever felt trapped in the cycle of dieting, shame, and self-criticism, you’re not alone. This is how diet culture destroys your body relationship.
In this episode of Fitness & Sushi, we’re pulling back the curtain on how diet culture destroys your body relationship—and sharing the 3 powerful shifts you need to finally heal.
Diet culture has trained you to see your body as a problem to be fixed. It told you: “If you want to feel better about your body, you have to change it.” That lie created fear, anxiety, and fragile self-worth that kept you stuck in restriction, bingeing, and endless self-judgment.
But you didn’t fail. The system failed you.
Why Diet Culture Keeps You Stuck
Diet culture thrives by convincing you your body is an object to control, not a home to care for.
It conditions you to:
- Obsess over food and calories
- View exercise as punishment
- Equate thinness with health and worth
- Feel shame and guilt around eating
This mindset leads to isolation, self-doubt, burnout, and a constant battle with yourself.
In the podcast episode, we break down exactly how these messages erode your trust in your body and sabotage lasting health.
