Just Eat It (by Laura Thomas)

The subtitle of this book is "How intuitive eating can help you get your shit together around food" and that captures the - sorry - flavor of this book pretty well. Laura Thomas is trying to be all hip and relatable and swears a lot, but she also dismantles diet culture effectively and has messages I really needed to read as I emerge into a new, healthier relationship and mindset around food.

She is from the UK (and I had to buy this book on paper because there's no e-book version at any of my libraries) but the principles are universal.  I loved the insight that nutrition should be additive - adding fiber or veggies or whatever into your diet is supportive and healthy, trying to exclude foods or deprive yourself of foods leads to binging and yo-yo dieting and all kinds of badness.

I kept a journal while reading this and I'm sure I'll refer to it often. And I have to say over the course of reading this book, I've gotten a lot better about listening to my body and being nice to myself about it. Excellent reading experience.
