Food Isn't Medicine: Challenge Nutrib*llocks & Escape the Diet Trap by Joshua Wolrich

funny informative reflective fast-paced

4.0

This book refutes a lot of BS claims about diet and food in a super accessible and informal way. I appreciated that the author explained some jargon in a handy table for us non-scientists.  If you have struggled with disordered eating or receiving unsolicited dieting or weight loss advice I highly recommend it. I'm probably a bit further along in my journey of disentangling weight and food intake from health than the intended reader of this book - nonetheless I enjoyed reading it and learnt a lot! 
CW for eating disorders and weight discussion - the author discusses his own disordered eating and attempts to lose weight in quite frank detail in the first chapter of the book.
