Is HAES® backed by science?

The approach has indeed been supported by scientific evidence which is fantastic.

Research shows that weight stigma and discrimination contribute to negative health outcomes. Furthermore, dieting and weight loss attempts have been shown to be associated with adverse health outcomes including increased risk of disordered eating, psychological distress, and long term weight gain. Studies have proved that taking health at every size and intuitive eating approach promotes healthy eating habits, improved body image, reduces disordered eating and long term weight stability.

Does HAES® promote weight control?

HAES supports weight control through the lens of intuitive eating, however if weight loss is secondary to implementing a more mindful way of eating and movement, that is welcome, however never guaranteed as that is not the goal.

What is a HAES® nutritionist?

A HAES nutritionist/dietitian supports the above movement by implementing the principles discussed above to help an individual feel more at peace with their relationship with food and self.
