A huge burden has been lifted: I no longer have to revise my first
book to reflect current understanding! Christy Harrison beat me to
it. I'm blown away by how good Anti-Diet is. Using a social
justice lens, well-researched and smart science, captivating
storytelling, and practical advice, this book will help you reclaim
your life from the throttle of diet culture. * Linda Bacon, author
of Health at Every Size, co-author of Body Respect *
Please read this book! Anti-Diet is the book to end all diet
books, and will be a game changer for so many people. Christy is an
expert on this subject and leaves no stone unturned in exposing how
insidious and harmful diet culture is-and teaching readers how to
opt-out of the madness. * Caroline Dooner, author of The F*ck It
Diet *
If you've ever wondered how we landed in this current
wellness-obsessed, sugar-and-gluten-fearing moment of entrenched
food anxiety, ANTI-DIET is a must-read. Christy Harrison traces the
history of modern diet culture, busts deeply rooted myths, and
exposes the inherent biases of modern weight research. She also
offers clear, practical advice for all of us trying to disentangle
ourselves from diets and make peace with food. * Virginia
Sole-Smith, author of The Eating Instinct *
Brilliant! Anti-Diet should be required reading for every
health professional and in every health-related class. Harrison
bridges the gap between intuitive eating and social justice issues
in an engaging and compassionate way. She exposes toxic diet
culture - its evolution, who profits by it, and how it hurts you.
Written with a friendly touch of sass, Anti-Diet, is richly
sourced with studies, stats, and expert interviews. I highly
recommend this book to help you dismantle diet culture and to heal
your own relationship with food, mind, and body. * Evelyn Tribole,
coauthor of Intuitive Eating *
As compassionate as it is scholarly, Christy Harrison's
Anti-Diet goes deep to expose the sordid underbelly of the
diet culture but it doesn't leave you there. With healing-oriented
strategies that address our physical, emotional, and social selves,
you will finish this book armed with ways to reclaim all that
dieting has taken from you, and gain a new perspective that is
empowering and sustainable. * Jenna Hollenstein, MS, RDN, CDN,
author of Eat to Love *
VICTORY! Christy Harrison epically takes down diet culture and
explains why the cards are stacked against all of us who still
believe a smaller body is the only way to improve health and create
a better life. Diet culture sucks, but you can take meaningful
action: Read this book. Stop dieting. Start being good to yourself.
* Rebecca Scritchfield RDN, author of Body Kindness *
This book will change the way you see the world and live your life
forever. Thank God for Christy Harrison. * Jes Baker, author of
Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls *
