A 10-step approach to ditch diet culture, heal your relationship with food, and learn to love your body from clinical psychologist Alexis Conason. Diets don't work--and it's not your fault. As a culture, we're told (and tell ourselves) that if we just lost the weight--tried a little harder, had a little more willpower, or deprived ourselves for a little bit longer--we'd be happier, healthier, and more desirable. This is the myth we've been sold by diet culture: that by shrinking our bodies, our lives will transform. But the problem is not our bodies. The problem is our culture--a culture that ...
A 10-step approach to ditch diet culture, heal your relationship with food, and learn to love your body from clinical psychologist Alexis Conason. Diets don't work--and it's not your fault. As a culture, we're told (and tell ourselves) that if we just lost the weight--tried a little harder, had a little more willpower, or deprived ourselves for a little bit longer--we'd be happier, healthier, and more desirable. This is the myth we've been sold by diet culture: that by shrinking our bodies, our lives will transform. But the problem is not our bodies. The problem is our culture--a culture that conflates being healthy with being skinny, a culture that ensures 20% of Americans are on a diet at any given time, yet dooms 95% of them to fail. The Diet-Free Revolution is about much more than changing what or how we eat: it's about healing our relationship with food. It's about discovering what really nourishes us, while teaching us to listen to and love our bodies. And it's about the bigger picture--how we can resist a diet culture that harms us all to nourish ourselves in body, mind, and spirit and learn to joyfully embrace authentic self-acceptance and self-love. Enriched with case studies, meditations, stories, lessons, and activities, The Diet-Free Revolution will help you: • Challenge your assumptions about weight and health • Find fullness and manage emotional eating • Embrace your "yum" and tune into taste • Trust your body to be your guide Reframing dieting (and diet "failure") as a pervasive aspect of our culture--not an individual failure--The Diet-Free Revolution offers an empowering roadmap to healing, self-acceptance, and radical new ways of relating to and loving our bodies.
