If you are looking for more information about HAES Nutritionist, intuitive eating, weight stigma, and body positivity then you have come to the right place. Esther Tambe Nutrition is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist based in Long Island, NY.
A HAES nutritionist is a nutrition specialist who opposes weight loss as a patient nutrition strategy.
A nutritionist who adheres to the HAES operates under the assumption that:
· Better health does not equate to lower weight.
· Health disparities are a result of diet culture and the obsession with thinness.
· Clinical conditions can be treated without nutrition therapy, such as weight loss.
· For the majority of people, long-term weight loss is not feasible.
· Losing weight quickly might harm your body, mind, and metabolism.
While it is not the goal of a HAES Nutritionist to prevent weight loss (unless the person has an eating disorder), it is never the primary goal of the nutrition intervention.
Weight loss is never prescribed as a treatment measure by a HAES nutritionist, unlike traditional nutrition professionals.
Let's look at what A HAES approach is and what you can expect when you visit a HAES nutritionist.
What is a HAES?
HAES, or health at every size, promotes the concept of selecting health-promoting behaviors that are not based on body weight, shape, or size.
HAES is distinguished by the following characteristics:
· Weight tolerance
· All bodies are celebrated for their diversity.
· Eating for Health (both mental and physical)
· Respectful treatment (care providers should be aware of biases and provide care with respect to diversity and socio-economic status)
A HAES nutritionist will continue to use scientific research to address medical concerns, facilitate daily behavior changes to support adequate nutrition, and facilitate a healthy relationship with the body and plate.
