Just Eat It: How intuitive eating can help you get your shit together around food by Laura Thomas
chaoticnostalgia's review against another edition
Not terrible, but really a beginner's guide to intuitive eating, so I wasn't learning much. I also wasn't in the mood for this type of book and only started it because the hold was ready for me at the library - I couldn't renew it due to other holds and I just realized it wasn't worth the stress.

Impactful, helpful, honest, and funny - definitely written for 80s and 90s babies. This book took me 7 months to read. I'd read a chapter, try to put in in the work, and then come back to the book when I was ready to move on. I recommend this for anyone who struggles with diet culture and disordered eating.

This book has some good insight into eating more mindfully, not following diets or diet influencers and generally eating healthier and listening to your body and it's needs.
I did enjoy the fact that the author shares her diet stories and found it interesting that even dietitians can form eating disorders. It made the book feel much more honest.
I felt it was a little too long but otherwise a great starter for learning to love yourself more rather than listen to what our phones and social media tell us. A very much needed read

I tried intuitive eating before but it didn't working. Reading this book I was still counting calories and getting weighed so not intuitive eating at all! But now I know what I'm doing. This book is really inciteful but also doesn't handhold you. There's lots of exercises and moments for reflection as well as information so you do have to do some work and have an honest think about yourself as you go along. It also incorporates a form of CBT called ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) which I've done in therapy and love so extra points for me for bringing it in. It's realistic, doesn't sugar coat and you can tell Laura knows her field. A great read

Good in principle, but heavily ignores science and could be easily misinterpreted to encourage living in a way that will lead you to an early grave
