Synopsis

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.

Holy moley... I wish I'd read this book when I was fifteen! My entire life would have been changed with this knowledge, and possibly that of several members of my family.

Goodreads review by Katie on February 13, 2019

This is probably the most frustrating book I've ever read. Let me preface by saying that I've struggled with my weight my whole life. I've been obese since I was young, and I've tried basically every diet/diet program/exercise program that exists. I always thought I was just "meant to be fat." I trie......more
