ABOUT THIS BOOK What’s the one thing the $60-billion-dollar diet industry doesn’t want you to know? Diets don’t work. Our bodies are hardwired against them. But instead of wondering what’s wrong with dieting, we wonder what’s wrong with us. Diet programs earn billions because they make people believe they’re food addicts, lazy and weak, and that losing weight is the key to the life they truly want. The F*ck It Diet is the anti-diet, designed for anyone who feels guilt or pain over food, weight, and their bodies. Caroline Dooner calls BS on the diet industry as she reveals the truth about weight bias, tackles the flawed approach inherent in dieting, and guides readers through the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of the journey from miserable food obsession to true food ease. Dooner encourages us to eat the things our bodies want, and to be happy being healthy at whatever weight that might be. The F*ck It Diet is the only diet that works because it tackles two things at once: the biological reality that dieting triggers the body’s famine response, and the mental, emotional, and cultural reasons that we become obsessed with food. By taking diets off the cultural pedestal, Dooner contends, we can reclaim mealtimes as pleasure and nourishment instead of a misguided test of willpower. MY REVIEW THE FUCK IT DIET by Caroline Dooner is for everyone who has ever yo-yo dieted or thinks about food a lot, and is honestly a book that could change your life. Now when this book came in the post I was very excited because I have always been a yo-yo dieter since I was a teenager right up to last month where I jumped on the bandwagon of yet another diet in the hopes that this would be the one that would see me return to my pre-kids shape (which is ironic because I thought I was fat then too!). Like so many people, women especially, I have always had a tortured relationship with food, labelling it good and bad, feeling guilty when I inevitably fell off the plan and stuffed my face, gaining back all of the weight that I had lost and then some. So when THE FUCK IT DIET arrived I really hoped that it would help but secretly doubted that it could, after all, I'm just a failure at dieting. But I was wrong. This book will open your eyes to the damage that you are doing to your body by constantly dieting and is laid out through different stages that are easy to read. It will open your eyes to the science behind how your body works without being too technical and you will realise why your body reacts the way it does to diets and their inevitable failure. Because they will fail. We all know that if we are honest. There were so many parts of this book where I felt like I could have written it myself and the author is superb at taking your fears and blowing them wide open and making you feel so much better at the end of it because she has been through it too. THE FUCK IT DIET by Caroline Dooner opened my eyes to the billion-dollar diet industry that could not care less about you, to the truth about BMI and words like obesity which blew my mind. Food should just be food with no other words attached and eating should not be some tortuous planning project that makes you anxious. I'm a short, Irish girl who will find my own perfect weight and whatever that may be that is fine because weight does not mean the same as health, and I'm healthy (as far as I know 😉). I no longer have to worry if I should have that bread roll or eat that ice-cream while I'm out with the kids. If I'm hungry for something I'll eat it and when I'm full that's fine too. THE FUCK IT DIET by Caroline Dooner isn't a quick fix book but an eye-opener and helpful companion as you try to start a new relationship with food and your body and I know it is a book that has changed my mindset for the better but also one that I will have to dip into for however long I need it. AUTHOR BIO Caroline Dooner is the creator of The Fuck It Diet, which helps chronic, lifelong dieters finally have an easy relationship with food. She is a writer, storyteller, performer and yoga teacher (who mostly just teaches resting). Entertaining and brutally honest, Dooner has been where her readers and clients are now. She suffered through over a decade of obsessive, miserable dieting and bingeing. She tried every fad diet, every version of intuitive eating, but remained scared of food, her appetite, and her weight. It was her own deep misery and dysfunction that made her investigate, research, and create another way.
