Synopsis

“The F*ck It Diet is not only hilarious, it is scientifically and medically sound. A must read for any chronic dieter.” –Christiane Northrup, MD, New York Times bestselling author of  Women’s Bodies, Women’s WisdomFrom comedian and ex-diet junkie Caroline Dooner, an inspirational guide that will help you stop dieting, reboot your relationship with food, and regain your personal powerDIETING DOESN’T WORKNot long term. In fact, our bodies are hardwired against it. But each time our diets fail, instead of considering that maybe our ridiculously low-carb diet is the problem, we wonder what’s wrong with us. Why can’t we stick to our simple plan of grapefruit and tuna fish??? Why are we so hungry? What is wrong with us??? We berate ourselves for being lazy and weak, double down on our belief that losing weight is the key to our everlasting happiness, and resolve to do better tomorrow. But it’s time we called a spade a spade: Constantly trying to eat the smallest amount possible is a miserable way to live, and it isn’t even working. So fuck eating like that.  In The F*ck It Diet, Caroline Dooner tackles the inherent flaws of dieting and diet culture, and offers readers a counterintuitively simple path to healing their physical, emotional, and mental relationship with food. What’s the secret anti-diet? Eat. Whatever you want. Honor your appetite and listen to your hunger. Trust that your body knows what it is doing. Oh, and don’t forget to rest, breathe, and be kind to yourself while you’re at it.  Once you get yourself out of survival mode, it will become easier and easier to eat what your body really needs—a healthier relationship with food ultimately leads to a healthier you. An ex-yo-yo dieter herself, Dooner knows how terrifying it can be to break free of the vicious cycle, but with her signature sharp humor and compassion, she shows readers that a sustainable, easy relationship with food is possible. Irreverent and empowering, The F*ck It Diet is call to arms for anyone who feels guilt or pain over food, weight, or their body. It’s time to give up the shame and start thriving. Welcome to the F*ck It Diet. Let’s Eat.

Goodreads review by Lauren on June 08, 2019

** Note: I’m about halfway through the book. My review might change once I’m finished. So far, this seems like an excellent book for people who fit into normal size clothing who torture themselves with diets and other food restrictions. It seems like a great book for people who strive to constantly......more

Goodreads review by Sara on April 30, 2019

This book was phenomenal. I'm honestly going to read it a second time very soon. I also will be buying a physical copy so that I can highlight meaningful quotes.

Book Reviewed by Stacey on www.whisperingstories.com From the title and the synopsis, I was intrigued enough to want to read this book. Over the years my weight has crept up and I’ve gone from being this size 8 young woman in my early 20s to a size 16 in my 40s. In my teens, I had an eating disorder......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on August 15, 2019

I definitely agreed with a few things. I feel the human body is still a "caveman" body - doing anything possible to survive possible famine. I believe that if you overly restrict intake, your body will eventually binge, because it thinks it's starving. I do not agree that the key to long term health......more

Goodreads review by Katharine on April 22, 2019

As a registered dietitian, I read pretty much any book about healing one's relationship with food that I can get my hands on, and this is a must-read! It's well-researched, well-written, covers the physical effects of restriction *really* well, and digs into the all-important limiting beliefs we hav......more
