The Elephant In The Room
Is Weight Lost Worth It?
After decades of dieting, I finally lost weight, so why couldn’t I stay slim?
Since researching the cost of obesity two decades ago, I have personally lost and regained a total of 10 stone. That contradiction between professional knowledge and personal experience lies at the heart of the book.
The Elephant in the Room takes readers on a journey to discover why diets are destined to fail, how culture ties women's worth to their bodies, and how to reconnect with the inner wisdom the body holds.
Read The Elephant in the Room and discover:
Whether dieting is really as scientific as calories in and calories out?
If diets work, why do we keep going back on them?
How to stop believing that we will be happier if we lose weight?
Why as women, we struggle with body image and hide our eating habits?
How to love the body you live in, not the one you dream about?
Why we trust the tracker more than our own gut?
Why we believe ‘experts’ about what is good for our bodies over our own intuition?
