#MeasureHealthNotWeight had fun today making Nutriri's video to share that @TheLancet and @NICEComms are in
agreement that higher weight is being over-diagnosed and over-treated and that #WeightStigma is a major barrier to health and healthcare
If I'd have known it'd take so long... would we have started?...
We'll never know if Nutriri has taken the fastest route; we've simply took the routes available to us at the time (without selling out to d!et culture!)..and now we've been invited to the BMJ https://t.co/1edHecyXJw
Did the study have a control group that didn't pursue or surveil weight change? One that measured balancing nutrition, movement, alcohol and not smoking and actively reducing stigma to rebuild trust? #MeasureHealthNotWeight

@NASPTweets A simple rebranding (and KPI shift) of 'weight management' spending (Β£785m in one year is typical) could fund so much community based social prescribing #MeasureHealthNotWeight https://t.co/weVffcjEup
