The end of the anorexic models on the catwalks in France has come since a law that forbids hiring them came into force. Designers and/or agents who dare violate this rule are at risk of a €75,000 fine and half a year in prison.
The criteria for the model’s physical health includes the Body Mass Index (ratio of weight over the square of their height) and a medical examination.
Additionally, starting October 1, 2017, advertising photos with Photoshop (which made a fortune from the mankind unhealthy desire for unnatural look) touchups have to be marked as such,.
Has mankind finally woken up from its superficial nightmare ambitions? I wish it has. This February when I tipped a teenager to reduce or stop chocolate and sweets in order to get rid of his acne, I was shocked by his answer: "Why deny pleasure? See, how good I'm in getting rid of zits by Photoshop."
It wouldn't have caught my attention if that was not the same saying as one I once heard when I offered solution to an alcoholic.
So the man is prepared to use anything but commonsense and will in order to live well and healthy.
The motivation is very important in my work and, if it’s absent, the undertaking is destined to fail.
Crowding out
Many nutrition experts give their clients a list of foods to avoid and foods to eat, which explains why so many people are turned off by nutrition. My approach is different – by eating and drinking foods that are good for you, you will naturally have less room and desire for unhealthy foods. Simply put, you will “crowd out” the unhealthy food in your diet. This takes a little practice to make happen, but I will support you all the way..
I’m really pleased hearing clients say, "I don't crave sweets anymore" or "I don't crave coffee anymore."
If you have something that weighs you down or that is frustrating you in nutrition, I may be the one to help you.
