| Domain | Body Positivity Perspective | Traditional Wellness Perspective | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Weight is not a reliable proxy for health; focus on behaviors. | Weight loss is a primary outcome metric for success. | | Diet | Anti-diet; emphasizes intuitive eating and rejects restriction. | Often promotes calorie deficits, detoxes, or "clean eating." | | Exercise | Movement for joy, function, and mental health. | Exercise as "compensation" for calories consumed or weight control. | | Aesthetics | Health can look many ways; thinness ≠ fitness. | Often conflates lean physique with "peak wellness." |
