#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?...

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

Yes UK food culture needs urgent and continuing focus @BBCNews and @HughFW but it’s poor health we’re trying to prevent but weight loss and #SolvingObesity IS NOT the way #MeasureHealthNotWeight
