Bryony gordon Reveals the ‘Food Noise‘ Diet Industry Ignores – and How to Quiet It Without Injections
Bryony Gordon has shed light on “food noise”-the relentless internal chatter about what to eat, what not to eat, and feelings of guilt surrounding food-and how it’s deliberately obscured by the diet industry.In a recent piece, Gordon details her personal struggles with this pervasive mental distraction and offers strategies for managing it without resorting to weight-loss injections.
Gordon explains that food noise isn’t about hunger; it’s a constant stream of judgment and anxiety centered around food choices. She attributes the prevalence of this noise to the diet industry’s focus on restriction and moralizing food, creating a cycle of obsession.
The article outlines techniques for silencing food noise, emphasizing self-compassion, mindful eating, and challenging restrictive thought patterns. Gordon advocates for a shift in focus from weight loss to overall well-being, suggesting that addressing the underlying emotional drivers of food noise is key to lasting peace with food. She specifically cautions against the growing trend of using weight-loss injections, arguing they address the symptom (weight) rather than the root cause (mental preoccupation with food).
