Breaking Fitness Myths: Veganism, Eating Disorders, and Body Positivity

LET'S TALK ABOUT TOXIC FITNESS ???

Eating “right” and doing 300 burpees a day is all fun and games until (hold up, neither of those is fun… let me rephrase; it's all fine and well) until you realise that it could just be a sad attempt at masking a bigger underlying problem.

Liney, the mitochondria of Grapefitt, is a full-time student by day and fitness content creator by the other half of the day, and as a result, has built an impactful presence online.

She dives into the treacherous terrain of how she viewed fitness as a form of punishment and how her journey with veganism played a crucial role.

Remember thigh gaps?

Remember how badly all the girls wanted one?

For many, this social trend paved the way for a terrible relationship with food and the gym.

Transitioning from a vegan diet wasn’t about abandoning one trend for another, but more than anything, it was about embracing a holistic approach to her health and happiness

With this came new beliefs, and internalising a new self - the “beastly” self (20:27).

Liney’s story is a beautiful reminder of all that you can be and that through it all, one should always remain authentic, passionate, and most importantly, sweaty.
