Our relationship with food is broken, but Dr Emma Beckett is here to help us repair it.
This is not a diet book, but it is a book about your diet, your life, and how food fits into it all.
In her sassy, and straightforward style, Dr Emma Beckett takes her extensive research qualifications and applies them to our everyday lives. She shows us how and why food choices, eating, and biology are not as simple as diet culture suggests. By embracing this complexity, we can empower ourselves to make changes that suit our unique lives and biology. Ditch the guilt that comes with trying to follow simple rules don't actually work, along with the pressure to be perfect.
Part manual, part memoir, part manifesto, You are more than what you eat puts the person back at the heart of nutrition. Informed by a scientific evidence base, this is the perfect antidote to misinformation, and the weight loss industry. This book will teach you to embrace the complexity of your body and your life, reject the lure of simple slogans, and heal your relationship with food.
'An empowering and delightful demolition of diet culture. A guide to modern life'. - Dr Liz Allen, author of The Future of Us
'Emma cuts through the nutritional overwhelm, the noise, the B.S and offers a fresh take on food and eating. She reminds us in her sassy, trademark style that there is no perfect food, eating plan, diet or set of rules and regimes. In fact our bodies are gloriously designed to self-regulate, adapt and evolve. She also makes EVERY-BODY, no matter of sex, income, age, body size, race, background etc feel seen and heard, a rarity in these types of books.' - Felicity Harley, host of Healthy-ish
