### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Done with Dieting
*by W***R on December 9, 2015*

This book was a joy to read. There are so many different diets out there and the diet industry is a multi-billion dollar industry (because we all know diets don't work but we all hope we can be in that 5% success rate). If you're done with diets then this book explains why that's actually the best choice of them all. Very easy to read and reassuring that there is nothing wrong with you, society is perversely behind the times. It's time to enjoy life and enjoy your body now!What I most enjoyed and try to share with others is the seven myths of weight stigma:MYTH 1. Fatness leads to decreased longevity.MYTH 2. BMI is a valuable and accurate health measure.MYTH 3. Fat plays a substantive role in causing disease.MYTH 4. Exercise and dietary restriction are effective weight-loss techniques.MYTH 5. We have evidence that weight loss improves health.MYTH 6. Health is largely determined by health behaviors.MYTH 7. Science is value-free.I did read Bacon’s book HAES and while I did enjoy it, I found Body Respect to be a quicker read and better for mass appeal.There was a very small section on emotional eating in Body Respect. For a book that continues to discuss the importance of mindfulness and deals much more with emotional eating, I highly recommend Women Food and God by Geneen Roth. Roth also talks about being the size that's right for you but does not go as far as Bacon. Good for those who have disordered eating and can’t let go of the idea of dieting.For a book aimed at parents, I recommend Your Child’s Weight by Ellyn Satter. Satter talks about how restrictive diets causes children to gain weight but by allowing your children to enjoy all foods they will end up with a healthy relationship with food and be the weight nature intended them to be.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A critical book for raising healthy kids
*by G***S on August 16, 2018*

This book is required reading for parents who want to help prevent eating disorders and help their kids recover from an eating disorder. The "war against obesity" has caused countless casualties when it comes to eating disorders, and this book does an excellent job of removing the stigma around weight and sharing important facts about health independent of weight. I am a big fan of "Health at Every Size," and love the new research and added focus on social justice and environmental factors of health in “Body Respect." In addition to improving our own health and that of our families using HAES, we must find ways to influence social systems and government policy in order to build a truly healthy society for everyone. Linda Bacon's work is critically important as we put one foot in front of the other and do our best to overcome the devastating impacts of fatphobia and healthism.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THANK YOU!
*by A***R on August 30, 2019*

This book is a HUGE breath of fresh air in world where breathing can feel difficult. The diet culture we have all been raised in would leave many to believe this book is "radical" and "nonsense" simply because it is widely accepted. Guess what? This book is FULL of science: Hard facts, peer reviewed studies, plentiful evidence. It's time to re-examine everything we THINK we know about health. I've had a career in the natural health food industry for 6+ years, so trust me when I say that there is something wrong with how our culture vilify foods, assigns shame to people in larger bodies, and embraces stigma. This book should be required reading for anyone in the medical care world, anyone who is a parent, and honestly- ANYONE who struggles with navigating their relationship with food and self image. Bravo to the authors!
