#HAES RDs have you seen the BS from @eatright to treat large bodies? Start w/1200kcal diet (good for toddlers, not adults) & end with a call to "not use a Health at Every Size® or Non-Diet approach to improve BMI and other cardiometabolic outcomes or quality of life." A thread:
Don't miss the chance to let them know that this is not evidence-based, that this is harmful, and contributes to weight stigma, and that #HAES is proven to improve metabolic markers and QOL via their public comment survey: andeal.org/public-comment…
And before any non-#HAES folks jump on to troll fat bodies, here's some research to peruse (from their journal):

Need more evidence? Check out PubMed and do the work. It's time we acknowledge, respect, and treat bodies of all sizes with equitable care. #HAES
