Damn Diets - Tania Valiquette

A practical book to debunk the myths in diet culture, written by popular nutritionist and blogger Tania Valiquette, aka The Cursed Nutritionist! Weight. The infamous weight! A large part of our lives revolves around it, without us even necessarily being aware of it. Have you tried to control what you ate today so you wouldn't gain weight? Have you done any physical activity to burn calories? Chances are you have! After all, a good person has to "be careful," right? That's precisely what hundreds of years of diet culture and ever-more demanding beauty ideals would have us believe: that thinness brings happiness and health. But does thinness really solve all our problems? Is it enough to eat less and move more to sculpt our bodies according to our desires? These are the kinds of questions you'll find answers to in this book, where the author, through her humor, frankness, and sometimes unconventional opinions, makes the concepts of the anti-diet approach and intuitive eating accessible. Are you ready to question centuries of the reign of thinness?
