This isn’t rocket science but it is definitely one of the better anti-diet books I have read. It’s written with compassion and empathy, it has the right amount of stories about others and it gives practical and useful advice. I have come away with some things to try and a will to treat my body more kindly - which can only be a good thing. Thanks to NetGalley for the chance to read this.

Dr Supatra Tovar (clinical psychologist, registered dietician and fitness expert) presents information in an accessible and informative way, to dismantle the harmful narratives around food and diet culture; and support informed decisions towards better health.

This is a very practical book, with many anecdotes and scientific research to support the various recommendations. Dr Tovar offers strategies to support changing our mindset around food, to change our emotions toward food, to ultimately modify our food behaviours, for sustainable health.

With thanks to Greenleaf Book Group and NetGalley for the digital review copy, for review consideration and an honest review.

While mindful eating and tuning into bodily cues is not a new concept, I appreciate how Dr Supatra Tovar addressed the science behind why diets fail, along with various behaviour change practices that can support us to reimagine our relationship with food.

A useful guide to mindful eating, which I will recommend to friends. I enjoyed reading about the research. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for giving me a copy of the book.

Nothing is wrong with this book. But it also does not break any new ground that other books I’ve read have already presented. So for a first time reader of this type of book it’s good. For me, it did not add much to the conversation.
