I loved talking about this iconic book with Amanda Murphy. She is so passionate and knowledgeable. I think you will find this discussion of changing our cultural relationship to food extremely valuable at this time of diet promotion overload. Some of the things discussed were: * Her breakup with diet culture * Why the first principal is the most important * Why giving up diet culture can be uncomfortable and brings up fear * Amanda’s biggest fear when she gave up dieting * The principal that still comes for Amanda * Why breaking up with diet culture is like a breakup * The difference between rejecting the diet mentality and challenging the food police * Food is just food, medicine is medicine * Takeaways for a chronic dieter * How intuitive eating happens regardless of effort, if you stop dieting * Emotional eating is normal * How to get satisfaction from food * Why intuitive eating works
