"Unapologetic Eating is a brilliant and exceptionally well
researched read, an important and much needed addition to the
anti-diet space. Alissa Rumsey dives deep into the problematic
history that's fueled our modern diet culture, and it's obsession
with controlling women's bodies and what they eat. With nuance,
compassion, and humor, Alissa provides tools and practical advice
to untangle ourselves from diet cultures' web of deception, and
truly make peace with food and our bodies."--Rachael Hartley, RD

harmful shapeshifter that is diet culture. It is a practical tool

body trust and becoming truly embodied. The book's sections touch

understand their own unique thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors so
that they can be examined, reframed, and reimagined to align with
their true values."--Jenna Hollenstein, MS, RDN, CDN "author of Eat
