Kylie Kelce Takes on the Most Toxic Diet Culture Phrases and We're Here for It

"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!"

"A minute on the lips, forever on the hips!"

"Sweat is fat crying."

Can you believe I was actually naive enough to think we had purged our world of these toxic phrases?

Unfortunately, they've made a comeback thanks in large part to skinnytok (ugh, skinnytok). And it's on us as women's health advocates to work against the diet culture that's resurfacing in such a mainstream way.

That's why we're handing it to Kylie Kelce for speaking up on her podcast about how she models a healthier relationship with food as a mom and a coach. She understands the responsbility she carries, takes setting a healthy example seriously, and we love that.  

"As a mom of four little girls and a coach to high school girls...this ain't it," she says of the diet culture phrases. "I have purposely changed the way that I speak about myself both to myself, in front of my kids, and in front of my athletes. Also, you don't earn a treat when you work out. You should be working out to feel stronger, to have better endurance, to feel healthy, to feel better overall. But you should not be working out to earn any type of food."

Amen.
