“Weight Loss is not a realistic goal for most people,” Tovar said.
She claimed 80 to 90 percent of people will regain the weight that they lose while on a diet. She stated that it is important for people to realize that “the body you have now is the only body you will ever have.”
Tovar’s idea that diet culture is a tool of “white heteronormative society” takes away all personal responsibility and power over one’s own body away from an overweight person. Tovar skipped over the idea that people who gain the weight back tend to return to their own diets. She also failed to mention the scientifically proven calorie deficit method.
“Exercise and diets are constructs,” Tovar said.
