International No Diet Day 2024: Theme
This year's theme, “Embrace Yourself: Reject Diet Culture, Love You,” is all about accepting yourself. Society dictates that certain body types are the best, and as a result, does not accept other body types.
As a result, body positivity is declining, which is further impacting the aspirations of young people around the world. Therefore, International No Diet Day is observed every year to change the focus to body positivity. This day serves a very important purpose in our life.
