Behaviour control is the thing that cults do. Here are some examples:

• Regulate an individual’s physical reality

• Dictate where, how, and with whom the member lives and associates

• Control types of clothing

• Regulate diet ~ food and drink 

• Hunger and/or fasting

Just in those first few things; controlling what you wear, how you eat, your physical reality, what you do with your life ~ this could be how you exercise, what foods you eat, whether you're spending time with certain people who are not dieting. You don't want them to influence you in negative ways.

Regulating an individual's physical reality…

When you're on a diet, your physical reality is 100% regulated. From the moment you wake up, the first thing that you would be thinking about is your diet.

When am I allowed to eat?

What am I allowed to eat?

When should I be exercising?

How much should I be exercising?

What clothes should I be wearing to hide my body?

What clothes should I be wearing to indicate that I'm a good fatty?

EVERYTHING. From morning till night, you were affected when you were on a diet. You're obsessed with that. 

Diet culture tells you what you should be doing and shouldn't be doing.

The next one on information control is deception. Deliberately withhold information, distort information to make it more acceptable, and systematically lie to the cult member.

The backbone of the diet is DECEPTION. 

There’s no study in the world that shows that dieting successfully reduces your body weight in the long-term.

The idea of dieting is based on deception withholding information and distorting information.

You see these adverts, "Oh, look at these people. They are so happy because they are so thin. They're going to be amazing."

I see some sort of stats saying, "10% of members can lose weight."

That's not TRUE!

10% of the members are not able to lose weight.

They don’t have SCIENTIFIC proof to show that dieting works.
