Food Freedom is a transformative guide for women who need to rebuild their relationship with food, body image, and self-worth, written by a Positive Psychology practitioner specialising in the relationship with food, body, and self.

How much of your life has been spent worrying about food, your body, or your weight?

In a world obsessed with numbers—on the scale, in calories, steps, or on clothing labels—it's easy to feel trapped in a difficult relationship with food. Food Freedom shifts the focus back onto what truly matters: cultivating a sustainable, fulfilling relationship with food and your body.

Grounded in positive psychology, Elle Mace's expertise as a qualified Eating Disorders Practitioner, and her own personal experience, this book will help you:

  • Understand how diet culture harms us all - and how to rewire your thinking
  • Know the different types of disordered eating, and shed the shame around each
  • Rebuild your own trust in yourself and your body
  • Develop self-compassion instead of self-criticism

If you are living with constant food anxiety, obsessive thoughts, or body shame, Food Freedom is full of practical exercises and tools to help you find peace.
