Basic Principles of "Health at Every Size"

1. Accept & respect the diversity of body shapes and sizes.
2. Recognize that health & well being are multidimensional & include physical, social, spiritual, occupational, emotional, and intellectual aspects.
3. Promote all aspects of health & well being for people of all sizes.
4. Promote eating in a manner that balances individual nutritional needs, hunger, satiety, appetite and pleasure.
5. Promote individually appropriate, enjoyable, life-enhancing physical activity, rather than exercise that is focused on a goal of weight loss.
