Shahroo Izadi delves deep into the intricacies of food addiction perpetuated by diets and unveils the secret to sustainable weight loss through actively unlearning damaging (and fattening) diet habits.
The gig's up. Seventy years since 'cabbage soup', obesity has tripled, 97% of all dieters gain it all back—and more, and diets are five times more likely to result in an eating disorder than sustained weight loss. In this ground-breaking book, Shahroo Izadi delves deep into the intricacies of food addiction perpetuated by diets and unveils the secret to sustainable weight loss through actively unlearning damaging—and fattening—diet habits.
Drawing on both professional and lived experience, Izadi challenges conventional wisdom surrounding diets and obesity treatment, offering readers a clear, compassionate, and restorative framework for reclaiming power over food and losing weight for good. Diets Are Why We're Fat serves as a defiant call to arms against the diet industry's exploitation and manipulation.
By learning to truly trust and believe in themselves again, readers can flip a defiant middle finger to the industry that has profited from their suffering for far too long and finally find the mental peace and physical balance they so deserve.
