We had the absolute pleasure to chat to the wonderful Debbie Lesko - the person behind the well-known and -loved platform 'Diets don't work' @diets_dont_work_haes1 (Facebook and Instagram)
Debbie Lesko is a 69 year old grandmother whose passion is to educate people of all ages, sizes, race, sexual identity of the dangers of diet culture and the societal ideals to keep everyone thin. She fights the mainstream ideals with her page – Diets Don’t Work on Facebook as well as on Instagram. She currently has about 21,000 followers who look forward to her newest posts. She has been on podcasts and taught at seminars as well as writes articles for magazines. As a survivor of anorexia and drug addiction she has the lived experience to share her ideas with the world. Her recovery from drugs and anorexia has been her driving force to share her recovery with others. “If I can inspire one person it will all be worth it.”
We talked to Debbie about her eating disorder recovery and how finding the non-diet space was a turning point in her journey. Running her amazing platform and sharing posts with her followers is part of her self-care and continued recovery process. She is incredibly passionate about raising eating disorder awareness, and is determined to make the world a kinder and more inclusive place for everyone.
