Everything You've Been Told About Weight Loss Is A Lie
Join the movement to dismantle medical weight stigma and demand evidence-based, weight-inclusive healthcare for all bodies
For over a century, we’ve been told that being fat is both a personal failing and a health crisis. This lie has created a two-tier healthcare system where fat patients are systematically denied care, their symptoms dismissed, and their treatment delayed—sometimes with fatal consequences.
What is the No Weigh Movement?
The No Weigh Movement exists to dismantle medical weight stigma by exposing the lies that underpin weight-focused healthcare—from biased research and industry-funded guidelines to media manipulation and political pressure. We’re working toward a fundamental shift in medicine: from weight-focused care to evidence-based, weight-inclusive practice where every patient receives equitable treatment regardless of body size.
The Crisis We're Facing
We’ve reached a critical point in healthcare. Decades of prioritizing profit over people, with politicians and policymakers enabling systematic oppression of fat people, has conditioned society to believe that discrimination is medically justified. The weight loss industry’s relentless anti-fat marketing strategy has created a culture where healthcare professionals feel entitled to stigmatise, traumatise, and dehumanise the very patients they’re meant to help.
The recent aggressive promotion of weight loss injections, with drug companies using corrupt and sometimes illegal tactics to influence medical professionals, shows just how far we’ve fallen. Meanwhile, fat patients continue to have their symptoms dismissed, their diagnoses delayed, and their treatment denied – leaving many without hope and afraid of their own doctors.
Our Vision
We envision a world where fat patients feel safe and welcomed in healthcare settings. A world where they receive equitable, evidence-based care regardless of body size. Where weight monitoring and unsolicited weight loss advice are eliminated from medical practice. Where healthcare providers are trained to recognize and address their own weight bias, and where no one fears or avoids medical care because of their body size.
The Path Forward
This crisis is not normal, and it’s not inevitable. The system can be changed. We can choose a better path: evidence-based, weight-inclusive medicine where every patient receives equal care regardless of body size. Where symptoms are investigated, not dismissed. Where weight becomes a protected characteristic, not grounds for discrimination. Where doctors are trained to recognize their bias and fat patients are empowered to demand better.
