    About this audiobook

    Fat isn't the problem. Dieting is the problem. A society that rejects anyone whose body shape or size doesn't match an impossible ideal is the problem. A medical establishment that equates "thin" with "healthy" is the problem.

    The solution? The Health at Every Size program. Tune in to your body's expert guidance. Find the joy in movement. Eat what you want, when you want, choosing pleasurable foods that help you to feel good. You too can feel great in your body right now-and this book will show you how.

    Health at Every Size has been scientifically proven to boost health and self-esteem. The program was evaluated in a government-funded academic study, its data published in well-respected scientific journals.

    Updated with the latest scientific research and even more powerful messages, Health at Every Size is not a diet book, and after finishing it, you will be convinced the best way to win the war against fat is to give up the fight.

      This book challenged my worldview in so many ways! Linda uncovers the underlying stigmas in American culture while leading listeners to love themselves where they are at in the present moment. This is a must read for your sake and for the sake of those around you. I feel my views of thinness and fatness and those who are thin and fat moving from biased to compassionate towards any and all bodies!

      There is a lot of good information in here -- covering the science that shows that dieting is usually not successful long-term, that the health risks of obesity are overstated, and that self-acceptance supports health better than dieting does. There's also advice and support for moving one's own life to an acceptance model, and that's where, for me, she falls down a bit. I found her tone overly personal and cheerleader-ish. I could do with fewer sentiments along the lines of "I know how it is" and "You can do it, sister!" Nevertheless, I highly recommend this book to people who are not at peace with their body size and try to control it through what they eat (or spend time feeling bad because they are not controlling their food intake as a way to reshape their bodies).

      The book has some good information, backed by research, about it is better to focus on health than on dieting, and provides a lot of good ways to do that. Unfortunately, the author spent way too much of the book complaining about and blaming various industries and government agencies for our misconceptions about food and dieting and health, which turned me off, but the book has some good information in spite of that.

      A wonderful book, I wish I had read it years ago. Also wish I had a bunch of copies to give to everyone I love.
