I really wanted to like this book. But it didn't really have any new information other than to suggest intuitive eating as the best strategy. Also, the constant political commentary was extremely distracting. I found that it took away from the author's message.

This is an absolutely fascinating look at the fallacies of diet culture, past, present, and future. I am finding it very helpful on my own anti-diet journey, which I’ve only just begun several months ago. I like the activities that the author suggests and will use them in my daily life. The only thing I found frustrating was the fact that her link to the page on her website where the extra worksheets and activity directions exist, were not available.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I couldn’t get into this book. Very repetitive & took a long time to get to the point. I can’t say that there is anything I can implement from this book. Was really hoping for some good information & advice but I unfortunately didn’t. Not the book I was expecting.

This book was a great dive into the oppressive nature of diet culture, exposing its roots in racism, ableism, and misogyny. I really enjoyed seeing the author's suggestions for our to repair our relationships with food without succumbing to the widespread diet culture of our society.

Everything I wanted in a book! I hope a ton of people read it and get help from the messages we've told ourselves for years about food. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
