Details : Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781529381177 Publisher: Yellow Kite Age Range: Adult Overview Anti-Diet is Christy Harrison's incisive investigation into the diet industry and the toxic culture that keeps millions of people trapped in cycles of restriction, guilt and self-blame. Combining sharp cultural criticism with rigorous science and journalistic storytelling, Harrison exposes how diet culture disguises itself as "wellness" while quietly draining people's time, money, health and happiness. This paperback is a practical, research-backed guide for anyone ready to step off the diet rollercoaster for good and build a genuinely healthier relationship with food and their body. About the Book In Anti-Diet, journalist and registered dietitian Christy Harrison takes aim at the multi-billion-pound diet and wellness industries, tracing how diet culture evolved, mutated and embedded itself into modern health advice - often under new, more palatable names like "clean eating" or "lifestyle change." Drawing on years of reporting and clinical experience, Harrison unpicks the flawed science behind weight-loss promises, showing why diets so consistently fail in the long run and why that failure is framed as personal failure rather than a predictable outcome. She explains how to spot diet culture's sneakier disguises across social media, healthcare settings and everyday conversation, and offers a compassionate, evidence-based alternative rooted in intuitive eating and body respect. Rather than another set of rules, Anti-Diet is an invitation to reclaim the hours, money and mental energy lost to dieting, and to pursue genuine wellbeing - whatever your body size. It's a book that challenges deeply held assumptions about health and weight, replacing them with a framework grounded in self-trust, social justice and sustainable self-care. For anyone exhausted by diet culture's endless promises, this is a clear-eyed, empowering way forward. Challenges diet cultur
