What is weight inclusivity? A weight-inclusive approach to health contends that weight is not an important indicator of health, people of all sizes can be healthy, and it is not possible for everyone to reach a “normal” weight. In this approach, weight is not seen as a health behavior, so health/nutrition interventions are not designed to impact one’s weight, but rather to encourage health behaviors such as rejecting diet culture, eating a wide variety of food, listening to one’s hunger/satiety cues, respecting one’s body, and moving one’s body in a way that feels good. Weight-inclusive approaches often also recognize the social determinants of health, and the impact of anti-fat bias on health by promoting policies and approaches that combat fat stigma and inequalities in access to care.
