Publisher's summary

Fat isn't the problem. Dieting is the problem. A society that rejects anyone whose body shape or size doesn't match an impossible ideal is the problem. A medical establishment that equates "thin" with "healthy" is the problem.

The solution? The Health at Every Size program. Tune in to your body's expert guidance. Find the joy in movement. Eat what you want, when you want, choosing pleasurable foods that help you to feel good. You too can feel great in your body right now - and this book will show you how.

Health at Every Size has been scientifically proven to boost health and self-esteem. The program was evaluated in a government-funded academic study, its data published in well-respected scientific journals.

Updated with the latest scientific research and even more powerful messages, Health at Every Size is not a diet book, and after finishing it, you will be convinced the best way to win the war against fat is to give up the fight.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Mind blowing

I continued to be amazed by the information presented in this book, page after page after page. Every time I sat down to listen, internally I’d say, “Wow”, or “That’s me!”, or “interesting!” It never ceased to make it’s point clearly and scientifically as well as culturally. Bravo! I have been awakened to the great deceit propagated by diet culture. Awesome book!

Life Perspective Changing Information

This book has life changing information, if applied. My nutritionist recommended it, and I'm so thankful that she did.

Eye-opening, mind-expanding!

Listen to the whole thing. Refrain from judgement until you hear the entire concept. I have been blaming myself all these years. I’m having to retrain my thought patterns.

A clear disassembly of weight issues

This book disillusions taught biases about weight and health. It echoed ideologies that have taken me my whole life to get to and gave me confidence that I can improve my health and love my body without shaming myself about my size.

Great book for overall concepts

This was a great book for overall concept, but her ideas on nutrition seemed a little ortho wreck dick to me. She vilified fat and someone who was vulnerable to food rules may react negatively to that. Her ideas about Bosie body positivity are great, and communicated well.
