Many people assume that body image coaching is inherently anti-fat loss, but the reality is far more nuanced.

We’ll explore the differences between body positivity and body image coaching, why fat loss can sometimes align with a compassionate approach, and how the source of motivation plays a critical role in whether physique goals are healthy or harmful.

Key Takeaways:

• The difference between body positivity and body image coaching.
• Why compassionate coaching isn’t anti-fat loss – it’s anti self-objectification.
• How motivational systems (competitive vs caregiving) influence the way clients approach weight loss.
• When fat loss can align with health and well-being goals – and when it might not.
• How to shift the focus to health-seeking behaviours that naturally support body composition.
• The role of pharmacological interventions (like GLP-1 agonists) in a compassionate health journey.
