Centre Cívic Casa del Rellotge, la Marina de Port, Sants-Montjuïc
Led by Júlia Roig, nutritionist at l'EAP Carles Ribas i la Marina. We live in a society where body weight is often regarded as the main indicator of health. But is that really the case? In this talk we will reflect on weight-centrism, dismantle some of the most widespread myths about weight and analyse why miracle diets remain so successful despite the lack of scientific evidence.
