Description
'Truly life-changing' - Dolly Alderton
'The only 'diet' book worth reading this new year' - Alexandra Heminsley, Grazia
Just Eat It isn’t just a book. It’s part of a movement to help us take back control over our bodies. To free us from restrictive dieting, disordered eating and punishing exercise. To reject the guilt and anxiety associated with eating and, ultimately, to help us feel good about ourselves.
This anti-diet guide from registered nutritionist Laura Thomas PhD can help you sort out your attitude to food and ditch punishing exercise routines. As a qualified practitioner of Intuitive Eating – a method that helps followers tune in to innate hunger and fullness cues – Thomas gives you the freedom to enjoy food on your own terms.
There are no rules: only simple, practical tools and exercises including mindfulness techniques to help you recognize physiological and emotional hunger, sample conversations with friends and colleagues, and magazine and blog critiques that call out diet culture.
So, have you ever been on a diet? Spent time worrying that you looked fat when you could have been doing something useful? Compared the size of your waistline to someone else's? Felt guilt, actual guilt, about the serious crime of . . . eating a doughnut? You're not alone. Just Eat It gives you everything you need to develop a more trusting, healthy relationship with food and your body.

As I’m always on a healthy eating kick this was of interest to me to read about intuitive eating instead of emotional binging! It was laid out well but I think the constant swearing may put some people off who want to rethink their goals. Will definitely dip back in and use some of the methods for sure. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

A useful tool for teenagers and young people particularly, along with adults who feel they need a "reset" on their attitude to eating, weight and diet. Its full of useful insights into these subjects m, including a well-thought out critique of the diet industry, media, social media and health services in their attitudes.
The book is accessible and easy to read, with a nice chatty tone and a good sense of personality from the author too.
If you're looking for an easy way to lose weight, this book isn't it. But if you're looking for someone to help you let go of food/diet hangups and learn how to listen to your body more, this might be a useful tool.

In the introduction to this book Laura Thomas says (capitals hers) “WE TRUST OUR PHONES MORE THAN WE TRUST OUR BODIES”. This is definitely true for me, I track everything I eat via an app on my phone and worry if I feel hungry when I have eaten the “perfect” amount on any given day.
This book was an eye opener for me and allowed me to think critically about my relationship with food and social media.
The book was not difficult to follow and felt like an honest account- Laura discusses her own issues with disordered eating and it is refreshing to hear this from a nutritional professional.
The book is quite sweary but I expected that from the title and I do believe Nutribollocks is my new favourite word!
I really enjoyed this book and will re-read in future spending more time to complete the activities.
Thanks to the publishers and Net Galley for the advance version of this book to review.
