How to Just Eat It: A Step-by-Step Guide to Escaping Diets and Finding Food Freedom Reviews

I tried intuitive eating before but it didn't working. Reading this book I was still counting calories and getting weighed so not intuitive eating at all! But now I know what I'm doing. This book is really inciteful but also doesn't handhold you. There's lots of exercises and moments for reflection as well as information so you do have to do some work and have an honest think about yourself as you go along. It also incorporates a form of CBT called ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) which I've done in therapy and love so extra points for me for bringing it in. It's realistic, doesn't sugar coat and you can tell Laura knows her field. A great read

This book has changed how I look at food, at life, dieting and myself. I have followed Laura for awhile on IG so I knew bits of her ideology for food, but not in depth. I haven’t read her first book, but will definitely be going to pick it up now for further reading. This is a book you work through at your own pace and so I’d suggest definitely having a pad and pen next to you for ideas, tips . If you want a better relationship with food this is the place to begin
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion -
Potentially life-changing!

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a non fiction book all about intuitive eating. It encourages you to not feel guilty about what you are eating. There are lots of exercises to do and things to reflect on. I read this from cover to cover for the purpose of this review but it is really a book that you need to take your time over, do the exercises and redefine your relationship with food. -
I liked this book - fresh and gutsy as only the author can do justice to it.
