This book was pretty good, I would definitely recommend

~This was given by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

I was immediately drawn to the title of this transformative book, and then when I saw the subtitle-- Make Peace with Food, Banish Body Shame, and Reclaim Joy-- I was sold! As a female who is finally letting go of diet culture/madness, this book and the permission that it gives came to me at the perfect time.

The book is divided into two sections: The Diet Culture Trap, and How to Make Nourishment Work for You. I openly admit that I skipped the first part because I've done the experimenting as well as the research and have decided not to focus on that anymore. However, if you are just beginning to understand that diets don't really work, you will find the first section helpful.

The section about making nourishment work for me, is direct, profound, and honest. There have been so many things that I've been struggling with as I begin to learn what it means to nourish myself and, to trust myself, The author brilliantly addresses all of them (and a few that I wasn't even aware of LOL). I feel such a sense of lightness and permission (and self-forgiveness) now and will be reading the book again and again to reinforce all of it!

The writing style is conversational and authentic, as though the author was sitting down with me and having a friendly chat, which makes the book easy to read and digest.

Thanks to Netgalley, the author and publisher, for an advance reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
