So much respect for Joshua Wolrich with this absolute gem of a book！ The world needs to read this。 Everyone who has ever tried a diet， started a diet， in the diet industry， ‘fitfluencers’ and pretty much every other breathing human on the planet NEEDS to read this。 There is so much diet stigma， deeply encapsulated myths and straight up nutrib*llocks （best word in the human language in my opinion）。 I think pretty much everyone has fallen prey to diet scams and influenced by those around us - well So much respect for Joshua Wolrich with this absolute gem of a book！ The world needs to read this。 Everyone who has ever tried a diet， started a diet， in the diet industry， ‘fitfluencers’ and pretty much every other breathing human on the planet NEEDS to read this。 There is so much diet stigma， deeply encapsulated myths and straight up nutrib*llocks （best word in the human language in my opinion）。 I think pretty much everyone has fallen prey to diet scams and influenced by those around us - well fear no more！ With this book in hand you will have all within your arsenal， to swat all the harmful nutrib*llock rubbish away。 There’s also trigger warnings included by the author which is fab， and it’s written with so much respect， delicacy and sensitivity as well。 It’s certainly not an on the pedestal account and derogatory to anyone who follows any type of lifestyle or diet。 You don’t get a dressing down for being a victim of diet scams or for diets you follow but instead， replaces new foundations and builds you up in a friendly and informative way。I love that Joshua explained a glossary of terms at the beginning to help further understanding with scientific terms and throughout he made sure all the information was disseminated perfectly for every kind of reader。 It really is perfect for everyone。 I’m a scientist and an ex powerlifter with a love for fitness - and with that， yes， I have fallen prey to so so many complicated weight and diet patterns。 I was the girl diligently logging calories on my fitness pal and to that girl， I wish this book had been given to her！ I’m so happy this book is out for so many people that need it。 （For anyone that’s interested I did break out of these patterns and now practice an intuitive eating approach！）I listened to the audiobook and it was narrated absolutely brilliantly。 It made for very easy listening and it was so so entertaining and very enlightening。 He addresses nuance and privilege too， the HAES approach and all sorts of things I hadn’t encountered or heard of before even if I thought I had a fair amount of prior knowledge， there’s always more to learn and I learnt so much from this book。 I’ve been following Joshua for a while on Instagram and I know how much of a brilliant human he is and this book just further reinforces that。 It was great to find out more about him too as well as the topic of the book and it was all fantastically balanced。 Hearing about some of his encounters and exchanges （of which I occasionally encounter on Instagram） was brilliant。 It’s also laugh out loud funny at times and I really do love a non fiction book with a bit of humour！ So I can’t seem to stop writing about this book and singing it’s praises （= long review sorry！）In a nutshell - Fab， brill， perfect， illuminating， informative， very inclusive， greatly written （and narrated if you’re listening to the audiobook） and everyone and his dog should read it。 Oh and I have also ordered and bought this book as a physical copy too as my bookshelf and life need it。 If you come across this book - read it！ You won’t regret it。 I was lucky enough to receive an audiobook copy with thanks to the author and publishers via NetGalley， in response for honest thoughts and review。 。。。more
