Reclaim your time, money, health, and happiness from our toxic diet culture with groundbreaking strategies from a registered dietitian, journalist, and host of the Food Psych podcast. 68 percent of Americans have dieted at some point in their lives. But upwards of 90% of people who intentionally lose weight gain it back within five years. And as many as 66% of people who embark on weight-loss efforts end up gaining more weight than they lost. If dieting is so clearly ineffective, why are we so obsessed with it? The culprit is diet culture, a system of beliefs that equates thinness to health and moral virtue, promotes weight loss as a means of attaining higher status, and demonizes certain ways of eating while elevating others. It's sexist, racist, and classist, yet this way of thinking about food and bodies is so embedded in the fabric of our society that it can be hard to recognize. It masquerades as health, wellness, and fitness, and for some, it is all-consuming. In Anti-Diet, Christy Harrison takes on diet culture and the multi-billion-dollar industries that profit from it, exposing all the ways it robs people of their time, money, health, and happiness. It will turn what you think you know about health and wellness upside down, as Harrison explores the history of diet culture, how it's infiltrated the health and wellness world, how to recognize it in all its sneaky forms, and how letting go of efforts to lose weight or eat "perfectly" actually helps to improve people's health—no matter their size. Drawing on scientific research, personal experience, and stories from patients and colleagues, Anti-Diet provides a radical alternative to diet culture, and helps readers reclaim their bodies, minds, and lives so they can focus on the things that truly matter.

“The F*ck It Diet is not only hilarious, it is scientifically and medically sound. A must read for any chronic dieter.” –Christiane Northrup, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom” From humorist and ex-diet junkie Caroline Dooner, an inspirational guide that will help you stop dieting, reboot your relationship with food, and regain your personal power DIETING DOESN’T WORK Not long term. In fact, our bodies are hardwired against it. But each time our diets fail, instead of considering that maybe our ridiculously low-carb diet is the problem, we wonder what’s wrong with us. Why can’t we stick to our simple plan of grapefruit and tuna fish??? Why are we so hungry? What is wrong with us??? We berate ourselves for being lazy and weak, double down on our belief that losing weight is the key to our everlasting happiness, and resolve to do better tomorrow. But it’s time we called a spade a spade: Constantly trying to eat the smallest amount possible is a miserable way to live, and it isn’t even working. So fuck eating like that. In The F*ck It Diet, Caroline Dooner tackles the inherent flaws of dieting and diet culture, and offers readers a counterintuitively simple path to healing their physical, emotional, and mental relationship with food. What’s the secret anti-diet? Eat. Whatever you want. Honor your appetite and listen to your hunger. Trust that your body knows what it is doing. Oh, and don’t forget to rest, breathe, and be kind to yourself while you’re at it. Once you get yourself out of survival mode, it will become easier and easier to eat what your body really needs—a healthier relationship with food ultimately leads to a healthier you. An ex-yo-yo dieter herself, Dooner knows how terrifying it can be to break free of the vicious cycle, but with her signature sharp humor and compassion, she shows readers that a sustainable, easy relationship with food is possible. Irreverent and empowering, The F*ck It Diet is call to arms for anyone who feels guilt or pain over food, weight, or their body. It’s time to give up the shame and start thriving. Welcome to the F*ck It Diet. Let’s Eat.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Diet culture is a slippery concept. Some would argue that it doesn’t exist anymore, and that today’s average citizen of twenty-first-century Western culture is more concerned with health and wellness than thinness. #2 The history of diet culture is a long and complicated one, with many periods of ambivalence about body fatness. The Romans, for example, generally did not find thin bodies aesthetically pleasing, but they also did not have a unified institutionalized stigma against larger bodies until much later. #3 The word diet is connected to moralistic ideas about food, as it was in the Ancient Greek world. It was used to describe the special rules that applied to people depending on their constitution, and the doctors believed that anyone who didn’t follow those rules was intellectually and morally inferior. #4 Diet culture began to develop in the nineteenth century in the United States, when European Americans began to associate food with race. They believed that if they ate the wrong foods, their bodies would change shape to match the people they were colonizing.

Welcome to the Anti Diet. As a health consultant with a Ph.D. in exercise physiology and nutrition, I look forward to sharing with you the most current information I have to help you stop dieting endlessly, stop wasting your money on diets, and start living a normal and healthy life. All you have to do is to read this book, take notes, and implement the Anti-Diet program one step at a time. First, however, let me congratulate you for making two very wise decisions: (1) to stop the yo-yo dieting syndrome and (2) to step into a normal and healthy lifestyle. Let us all understand that this book is written for most of us-people like you and me who have become obsessed with diets. My goal in writing this book is to help increase your understanding of lifestyle changes, lifestyle choices, and how they can affect your health, your conditioning, and your general well being. This is really much more than just a weight-loss book. I am an exercise physiologist and a nutritionist, a specialist in helping people change their lifestyles-a specialist in helping people build up a nourishing diet based on proper eating habits and proper nutrition. However, this book will not only help you improve your health and well- being, it will enable you to enhance your ability to metabolize food, strengthen your immune system, and, at the same time, increase your energy level. In addition, it can really help you lose weight without deprivation or hunger. With the Anti Diet program you will never, ever, fall into the trap of dieting again! The use of the word DIET in this book is in a reference to a way of life. Diet in this book refers to the way a person should eat as a part of his or her lifestyle! It is thelearning of behavior patterns. It is a way of eating: eating the right choices, proper amounts and at the correct times of the day. In this book, the definition of DIET is NOT a restricted caloric intake and/or a deprivation program in order to lose weight. - Building and maintaining a vital metabolism - Increasing daily activity and exercise - Learning core proper eating habits - Integrating the latest nutritional facts into a common sense eating lifestyle that increases energy and over all health - Regulating blood glucose and insulin levels for fat utilization Aside from helping you lose weight and keep it off, this book is a supplement to prevention treatments for heart disease, obesity, osteoporosis, diabetes, colon cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, stroke, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and many other illnesses. The Anti Diet program is based upon scientific studies that have been published in many professional journals. My goal is to outline, in simple terms, the workings of physiology and nutrition, and to show how the two combine to implement a correct lifestyle: a lifestyle that makes sense, that won't leave you feeling deprived or hungry, and a lifestyle that will provide you with plenty of energy. Eventually, you will stop talking, living, thinking, and breathing diets and weight-loss.
