This movement, promoting the
elimination of the shame associated with society’s standards of beauty and respect for all
body shapes and sizes, will take place on Wednesday, May 6th.
The NEDA Network is a partnership between NEDA and other mission-aligned
organizations dedicated to advancing the field of eating disorders and building a
community of support. With nearly 20 member organizations, this network provides a
unified voice of strength and advocacy. May 6th will mark the NEDA Network’s second
national #NoDietDay social media campaign, encouraging the rejection of diet culture.
We invite you to join us in promoting healthy relationships with food, movement, and
body image!

More about the virtual workshop:
This session is appropriate for professionals and the general public. Becca will walk
attendees through identifying diet culture and diet mindset. She will explore the
neurobiological effects of restrictive dieting and we will leave with an understanding of
the psychological, emotional, and physical impact of dieting and how it often leads to
damaging disordered eating patterns. Attendees will take away cognitive, experiential,
and behavioral interventions they can use to reclaim a more balanced relationship with
food and body image. “This is an important and timely workshop that will address dieting
and its potential for unhealthy behaviors and health outcomes,” says Simone Seitz,
Executive Director of CRC for ED and Chair of the NEDA Network.
