Just Eat It: How intuitive eating can help you get your shit together around food by Laura Thomas
4.0
I enjoyed this reading about intuitive eating and I look forward to further implementing it into my life. Unfortunately I have a lot going on mentally so its actually been nice to think about changing my eating habits to a more healthy and long term approach.
This is the first non-fiction book I have EVER read (for my own pleasure), so as expected it took me a short while to get through it as I was missing the intrigue of a fictional story with plot twist etc. The book was also more than its actual self as you were taking it into your own way of living and attempting to adapt your mindset whilst also keeping a journal to complete activities and keep a food log.
I read a review or two that said this book was unprofessional in the use of the occasional swear words. I understand this point of view but I disagree. The book even has the word sh*t on the front cover! What were you expecting? It also didn't, for me, feel like it took away from the professionalism - there wasn't an excessive amount and it was honestly just used on a relatable level.
I don't think I can give this 5 stars, at least not yet anyway. As Thomas says, intuitive eating is a long journey and I may find myself taking a while to get there. Who knows, maybe the book didn't really help me much? Will I be changed in my eating ways? I can definitely see myself jumping back to chapters in the coming months as reminders to stay away from diet culture.
