Description
This unabridged audiobook edition is narrated by the author, Cat Clark.
In 2005, the cultural phenomenon Skinny Bitch told a generation of women to stop being "gluttonous pigs." It was the peak of "tough love," an era that used shame as a medical mandate and willpower as a weapon.
Twenty years later, the results are in: shame didn't work. Willpower wasn't enough.
Fat Bitch: Killing the Willpower Myth is the radical, science-backed response to two decades of medical gaslighting. Arriving in the midst of the GLP-1 revolution, Cat Clark performs a scientific autopsy on the Willpower Myth, proving that hunger isn't a character flaw; it is a biological signal being sabotaged by a billion-dollar industry.
Inside this forensic rebuttal, listeners will discover:
- The neurobiology of "food noise" and why the brain isn't broken.
- The autopsy of the BMI and how this "mathematical ghost" still haunts modern medicine.
- A roadmap for metabolic literacy that empowers patients to reclaim their biology.
- A whole-life guide for resting into a new, empowered reality.

"This was raw, real, and relatable! I loved Clark's authentic writing style, and it made reading her book easy. I know the subject matter, and it was like I was discussing food, weight loss, diets, drugs, and lifestyle with a bestie."

"For what it is, Fat Bitch is a solid book for folks considering using GLP-1 medication to treat obesity... it is well referenced and the information contained lines up with the advice I've been given by my dietician, GP and psychologist... it gives sensible advice, and it has a healthy body-positive and affirming vibe. Well done Cat Clark!"
— Kathy S., University Educator

"I could really relate to this book, it could have been me that wrote it. Reading it was like sitting down with your friend and having a heart to heart with them. Loved it. Will also add it will be great to reread when you are finding it tough going."
— Angela O., Early Reader
"This was such a great little book. So informative for those of us overweight women looking for some help losing weight. It was nice to read that it is not, in fact, our fault, that willpower is all a myth... Highly recommend."
