“The F*ck It Diet is not only hilarious, it is scientifically and medically sound. A must read for any chronic dieter.” –Christiane Northrup, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom” From comedian and ex-diet junkie Caroline Dooner, an inspirational guide that will help you stop dieting, reboot your relationship with food, and regain your personal power DIETING DOESN’T WORK Not long term. In fact, our bodies are hardwired against it. But each time our diets fail, instead of considering that maybe our ridiculously low-carb diet is the problem, we wonder what’s wrong with us. Why can’t we stick to our simple plan of grapefruit and tuna fish??? Why are we so hungry? What is wrong with us??? We berate ourselves for being lazy and weak, double down on our belief that losing weight is the key to our everlasting happiness, and resolve to do better tomorrow. But it’s time we called a spade a spade: Constantly trying to eat the smallest amount possible is a miserable way to live, and it isn’t even working. So fuck eating like that. In The F*ck It Diet, Caroline Dooner tackles the inherent flaws of dieting and diet culture, and offers readers a counterintuitively simple path to healing their physical, emotional, and mental relationship with food. What’s the secret anti-diet? Eat. Whatever you want. Honor your appetite and listen to your hunger. Trust that your body knows what it is doing. Oh, and don’t forget to rest, breathe, and be kind to yourself while you’re at it. Once you get yourself out of survival mode, it will become easier and easier to eat what your body really needs—a healthier relationship with food ultimately leads to a healthier you. An ex-yo-yo dieter herself, Dooner knows how terrifying it can be to break free of the vicious cycle, but with her signature sharp humor and compassion, she shows readers that a sustainable, easy relationship with food is possible. Irreverent and empowering, The F*ck It Diet is call to arms for anyone who feels guilt or pain over food, weight, or their body. It’s time to give up the shame and start thriving. Welcome to the F*ck It Diet. Let’s Eat.

Eating Should Be Easy

The F*ck It Diet

Blending memoir and blistering social observations, the author of The F*ck It Diet looks back at her desperate attempts to heal her hunger, anxiety, and imperfections through extreme diets, culty self-help methods, and melodramatic bargains with the universe. Offering a frank and funny critique of the cultural forces that are driving us mad, Caroline Dooner examines how treating ourselves like never ending self-improvement projects is a recipe for burnout. We have become unknowingly complicit in perpetuating our own exhaustion because we are treating ourselves like machines. But even phones need to f*cking recharge. Caroline takes a good hard look at the dark side of self-help, and explains how she eventually used a radical period of rest to push back against cultural expectations and reclaim some peace. Tired As F*ck empowers us to say no to the things that exhaust us. It inspires us to carve out time to slow down, feel okay about doing less, and honor our humanity. This is not a self-help book, it's a cautionary tale. It's an honest look at the dogma of wellness and spiritual self-improvement culture and revels in the healing power of rest and letting shit go.

Tired as F*ck

Fanculo le diete. Le diete non funzionano. Anzi, alla lunga provocano effetti contrari alle aspettative. Eppure, ogni volta che non otteniamo i risultati sperati, invece di domandarci se il problema stia nel manico – e cioè nei regimi, spesso punitivi, ai quali ci sottoponiamo – incolpiamo noi stessi. "Perché non sono capace di rispettare la semplice prescrizione di un pasto a base di tonno e pompelmo?", "Cos’ho che non va?", e via di questo passo, schiacciati dalla convinzione che la chiave della felicità consista nel perdere i chili di troppo. Ma è ora di chiamare le cose con il loro nome: cercare continuamente di mangiare il meno possibile è un modo triste di vivere, e non porta a nulla. Quindi basta con questo modo di trattare il proprio corpo e la propria vita! Caroline Dooner, che per anni ha tentato ogni tipo di regime alimentare, prende di petto gli errori della cultura delle diete e offre ai lettori una strada semplice e scientificamente argomentata, ricca di consigli pratici, per risanare il proprio rapporto fisico, emotivo e mentale con il cibo. Perché l’unico modo per stare bene è smettere di seguire regole prescrittive che conducono a frustrazione, disagio e sensi di colpa. La vita è troppo breve per essere ossessionati dal cibo. Abbiate fiducia: il vostro corpo sa quel che fa. E un rapporto sano con il cibo, in definitiva, rende sani anche voi

Basta con le diete. Mangiare è semplice. Ti dico come e perché

The anti-diet bible that calls time's up to poisonous beliefs about food, weight and worth.

Viele Diäten ausprobiert und immer wieder auf große Versprechungen reingefallen? So geht es vielen Menschen, die versuchen, Ihr Gewicht zu reduzieren. Die weltweite Abnehmindustrie hat einen Jahresumsatz von über 50 Milliarden Euro und lässt sich jeden Tag neue Ideen einfallen, um rasend schnell und ganz mühelos eine Traumfigur zu zaubern. Die meisten Produkte sind allerdings Bullshit und kosten nichts als Geld und Nerven. Die Fuck-it-Diät setzt nicht auf Ananas oder Kohlsuppe, sondern beleuchtet die eigene Ernährungsbeziehung und stellt durch die richtigen Fragen einen natürlichen Umgang mit Essen. Intutitiv findet man damit zum richtigen Maß und kann emotionales Frustessen abwenden.
