Demi Lovato refuses to live her life according to diet culture. The 'Confident' hit-maker refuses to exercise or count calories anymore but admits it is a different experience because she feels full of divine wisdom and cosmic guidance. 

"Accidentally lost weight. I don't count calories anymore. I don't over exercise anymore. I don't restrict or purge ... And I especially ... don't live my life accordingly to the diet culture ... I've actually lost weight ... This is a different experience but I feel full. Not of food but of divine wisdom and cosmic guidance. Full of peace, serenity, joy and love today," she says on her Instagram reel post.

I'm so proud of the person I am today. And I'm so proud that people get to see it in this documentary and I couldn't be more grateful that I had someone by my side."
