Restore your Relationship with Food and Body with a Body Image Registered Dietitian Nutritionist

What is body image in nutrition?

Body image can play a big role in how one nourishes themselves based on how they feel in their skin. Individuals with poor body image may struggle to fuel themselves properly in an attempt to control their weight or shape. In addition, individuals may avoid certain foods they deem “bad” or “unhealthy” which in turn contributes to a feeling ick in their skin.

What factors influence how people define their body image?

Factors can include the media such as movies, magazines and social media. Family dynamics that support the idea that “thinner” or “smaller” equates to healthier or peer influence regarding comments made about a person's body can place pressure on the desire to look a certain way. Furthermore, bullying, teasing or trauma related to weight can also contribute to the way a person may define themselves in their skin.
