Serial dieter no more!!!

This book is everything I needed to hear after 12+ years of trying every diet under the sun and constantly feeling guilt towards weight gain and personally responsible for my size. As a woman who has been clinically diagnosed with PCOS, weight and fertility issues are a constant concern for me now that I am wanting to start a family. This has led to drastic attempts at weight loss, often cutting out major food groups in an attempt to be a ‘healthy weight’ to become pregnant. I now feel so differently after listening to this book and will now try and repair my relationship with food to prepare me for motherhood. I want my children to feel positive towards food, not with w mother who is constantly ‘dieting’. Thanks, Joshua!

Changed my life

Not only did this book make me laugh, I found it so reassuring. I have been an avid follower of ‘nutri bollocks’ for years and if I’m honest, it gave me health anxiety and a pre occupation with my weight. I now feel so much more relaxed about myself and I trust my body more (and the midi al profession). I’m a hypnotherapist and I will be recommending this book to all my clients who want weight loss. First they myst read this.

Understanding food & diet

This book has helped me understand that there is no right diet out there. It can’t cure diseases and has opened my eyes to see that. Very helpful and interesting. Very informative book. Highly recommend

Required reading/ listening

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have some kind of disordered eating. Dr Wolrich smashes our food myths without making you feel guilty or stupid. This book really does give you freedom from those disordered ideas with grace and humour.

This book is the dogs (nutri)bollocks!

This book is excellent, but I real wish that it wasn't. I very much want there to be an amazing, sustainable diet which will help my shift loads of weight quickly, whilst still feeling full and satisfied and without having any cravings... Sadly, that's not going to happen and this book looks at all the reasons why. Plus, as you might have guessed from the title, it also goes into detail about why food and medicine and two very different things and the dangers of confusing the two.
Full of wisdom on restoring your relationship with food, and scientific fact on nutrition - this book should be taught in all medical schools. And everyone else would do well to read it too.

Insightful

Really enjoyed this - debunked myths I didn’t even know I believed! Follow Joshua on Instagram so had an idea what to expect : was not disappointed.

What a breath of fresh air in January!

January is tough: for months we're being told to indulge, but by Boxing day the merciless diet industry tells us to put the mince pie down, stop eating anything that isn't juiced or a milkshake disguised as a meal. Add this to the gym memberships and expensive exercise bikes to get bikini ready for summer, and we've got ourselves a whole bunch of guilt and nutrib*llocks! This book is full of actual - wait for it - FACTS. Read it; it will do you more good than a new fitness app or cleansing juice.

Great new view on things

I really enjoyed his fresh new take on eating healthy and to avoid fads and guilt. The required change in mindset after 3 decades of doing it one way will take some work though. Especially with him finishing the book by saying sort your relationship out with food before looking at weight loss, as it is a very unappealing process of delay to a very long held desired outcome, not matter how necessary. Also not knowing how long it will take and IF I'll get there requires a lot of faith... but then I suppose all diets/new ways of doing things require that. fingers crossed

Clear, Consise, and just what we need

This is a brilliant book. Clear, concise, and packed full of backed up science. Dr Wolrich is a great narrator and has written a book that I want all my friends to read.
