You are more than what you eat.

Science, Nutrition and a perfectly imperfect approach to eating.

This is not a diet book. And its not an anti-diet book. But it is a book about your diet, your life, and how food fits into it all.  

In her trademark smart, sassy, and straightforward style, Dr Emma Beckett takes her extensive research qualifications and applies them to our everyday lives, showing us how and why the science, theory, and practice of food, food choices, eating, and biology are not as simple as diet culture suggests. But, by embracing complexity we can empower ourselves to make changes that suit our own unique lives and biology. And we can ditch the guilt that comes with trying to follow simple rules didn't actually work, the pressure to be perfect, and the judgement of ourselves and others.

Part manual, part manifesto - You are more than what you eat puts people back at the heart of nutrition. Informed by a science, joy and a strong BS detector, Dr Emma will tell you what she really thinks based on a combination of her scientific expertise and her experience as a woman in a larger body, who has also fallen victim to diet culture. A perfect antidote to misinformation, disinformation, and the weight loss industry, this book will teach you to embrace the complexity of your body and your life, reject the lure of simple slogans, and heal your relationship with food.
