Good Food, Bad Diet is the new EVERY PERSON'S guide to weight loss! If weight loss science and common sense had a baby....this is what it would look like. Not for the faint of heart, Abby Langer says it how it is, but in the process provides hope for better health and a path to get there. As a seasoned dietitian I've worked with thousands of clients and will recommend my future clients read this as a resource to understanding how to lose weight, eat more mindfully, and build a lifetime of better health.

I really enjoyed this book. It had a good balance between the more scientific and complex elements of nutrition and how food works, and more basic, easy to understand ideas and general best practices that most people would be able to follow. It provided good guidelines without feeling like something rigid or restrictive, and I liked that the overall theme seemed to be to educate everyone and encourage everyone to use their knowledge to do their best - not a focus on being perfect at all times.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an early e-copy of Good Food, Bad Diet.

This book is about diet culture and the trouble behind it. Food is not the enemy and you should be able to eat what you want when you want, when you are hungry. This book debunks different myths about food that everyone has been taught.

This is a great book for people who might have a troubled relationship with food. It was easy to read and the author is a dietitian, so she is knowledgeable about what she is talking about. If Abby Langer decides to write another book, I will be reading it.
