More disingenuous dietary and weight science by HAES advocates. Strong recommendation to skip chapters 7 and 8. From my own recovery process, therapists should stay in their lane on this one because using dishonest and misrepresented science only makes the ED double down once it finds out.

This was a school read, and I wish I enjoyed this book more. Although it had a wide array of useful information and nice exercises to use with clients (why it’s 2 stars not 1), it was written sooooo bad. So so cringey it pained me it felt like millennial women stuck in 2011 tumblr writing things like “Le sigh” “Facepalm” “mmmkay?” like come on I’d rather read dense dry academic papers. Also its methods and approaches preached flexibility and gray areas but felt like a lot of absolutism still. Some of the “science” felt disingenuous and largely ignorant of universal truths.
