Good Food, Bad Diet: The Habits You Need to Ditch Diet Culture, Lose Weight, and Fix Your Relationship with Food Forever by Abby Langer

challenging informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

This is one of the first non-fiction books that I have read for self-enjoyment and not because school told me to, and the very first one about eating and diet culture that I dived into. In fact, I have always been very scared of starting books about this topic due to my personal history with eds, but this one didn't trigger me at all, indeed it helped me recognize how many of my intrusive thoughts about food are actually caused by diet culture. In fact, in this book I found suggestions to heal my relationship with food instead of notions about how many calories or grams of food I should eat every day. The author's purpose is clearly making the reader able to be comfortable around food, to have a balanced life style and a healthy body (and therefore not necessarily a skinny one).
