How did there get to be so many different ones, often with eerily similar prescriptions? Why do people cycle on and off diets, perpetually searching for that one simple trick that will solve everything? And how did these fads become so central to conversations about food and nutrition?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnxious Eaters\u003c\/em\u003e shows that fad diets are popular because they fulfil crucial social and psychological needs—which is also why they tend to fail. Janet Chrzan and Kima Cargill bring together anthropology, psychology, and nutrition to explore what these programs promise yet rarely fulfil for dieters. They demonstrate how fad diets help people cope with widespread anxieties and offer tantalising glimpses of attainable self-transformation. Chrzan and Cargill emphasise the social contexts of diets, arguing that beliefs about nutrition are deeply rooted in pervasive cultural narratives. Although people choose to adopt new eating habits for individual reasons, broader forces shape why fad diets seem to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConsidering dietary beliefs and practices in terms of culture, nutrition, and individual psychological needs, \u003cem\u003eAnxious Eaters\u003c\/em\u003e refrains from moralising or promoting a \"right\" way to eat. Instead, it offers new ways of understanding the popularity of a wide range of eating trends, including the Atkins Diet and other low- or no-carb diets; beliefs that ingredients like wheat products and sugars are toxic, allergenic, or addictive; food avoidance and \"Clean Eating\" practices; and paleo or primal diets. \u003cem\u003eAnxious Eaters\u003c\/em\u003e sheds new light on why people adopt such diets and why these diets remain so attractive even though they often fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47429815304428,"sku":"9780231192446","price":52.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780231192446.jpg?v=1774559855"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/kima-cargill.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
