kpiccs 's review for:
The F*ck It Diet: Eating Should Be Easy
by Caroline Dooner
Really good entry point for those who struggle with constant dieting or even just fixation on or too much energy around food that might not rise to your definition of "disordered." Or people who have really strong values around what being "healthy" means, or spend a lot of time pursuing health or thinness. I think for folks who cycle through self-help style books, this one will feel really radical and exciting while still having the kind of cadence and style that you expect.
I'm hopeful that people who read this and implement it will do some of their own work and then move on to more political authors around anti-fat bias and structural oppression (Aubrey Gordon, Virginia Sole Smith) as I came to this book last and found that I wanted more about systems and policy and less about individual "self love." These days the personal work of my own body image feels less urgent than the need to dismantle anti-fat bias in myself and my community. I think if this had been my first foray into the subject it would have been a good one though!
