Publisher's summary

“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 best-selling 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 f--k eating like that.

In The F*ck It Diet, Caroline Dooner tackles the inherent flaws of dieting and diet culture and offers listeners 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 listeners 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--k it diet. Let’s eat.

This is crazy

I really liked this book, but I have to admit everything she says about dieting sounds CRAZY! I kept thinking the whole time "that is just impossible".... The author is the narrator and she is extremely good, she made the book fast and fun to listen...but again, I can't see myself doing this diet.

Great book!

I ordered this book at the recommendation of my Psychologist. I have had a lengthy history of body dysmorphia, disordered eating and yo-yo dieting. This book is 100% dead on. It’s funny and so helpful. I initially just bought the audio book to listen to while driving but I am now getting the paper copy to go through again as it has such valuable information. Definitely recommend to anyone!!

wow

Me ayudó tanto y no puedo creer cuanto mejoré. 100% recomendado para gente que tiene problemas alrededor de la comida y perfeccionistas

Love!

Absolutely vital for your diet recovery process. Fantastic info put in simple terms. So good!

Glad I read/listened to this

This book is a great compliment to where I am on my own personal journey. The timing was perfect to encourage me not to give up and change my intuitive eating practice into yet another diet. I am excited to go bath through and work on the writing prompts and exercises.

LOVED!

So easy to listen to and just what I needed! this was my 3rd book on my intuitive eating journey and Inwish it had been my first because of the emphasis on letting go. This is probably the biggest and most important hurdle on the journey!

Life changing

This book is so helpful especially as someone who has struggled with disordered eating. It’s the voice of truth and reason!

Transformative

I was skeptical about listening to this book thinking it’s another intuitive eating book telling me to eat slowly and mindfully etc.—all great advice but still feels like a diet. This book however has been transformative and life changing for me, as if a huge burden is off my shoulders. It’s incredible the way it gets to the bottom of what we need to do to recover from the deprivation and shame that dieting creates for us. Highly highly recommended!

Absolutely incredible.

This book has changed my life. Caroline’s candor, thoughtfulness, and humor really made the material so much easier to wrap my head around. I feel like the lessons she imparts are applicable to all aspects of life, not just food and weight. In that spirit, I am going to go eat a snack and have a lie down.

Rethinking the concept of living

I really enjoyed listening to the book. Great author and a relaxed flow of narrative that made the idea of rethinking diet, thought process, and lifestyle eye-opening. It was recommended to me and I will gladly recommend it to others!
