“Dieting” is often considered to be a dirty word - and one that implies restrictive eating.
Thanks to the toxic diet culture which was popularised throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, the advent of programmes like Weight Watchers, and Kate Moss quotes that we won’t even dignify by sharing, the concept of dieting has been run into the mud – and we’re not exactly complaining. It’s a perversion of what should simply be referred to as “a healthy diet.”
