Description

The gig’s up. 70 years since ‘cabbage soup’, obesity has tripled, 97% of all dieters gain it all back – and more, and diets are 5 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.
