About this listen

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

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.

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*ck it.

Caroline Dooner tackles the inherent flaws of dieting and diet culture, and offers readers a simple path to healing their physical, emotional, and mental relationship with food. What’s the secret anti-diet? Eat. Whatever you want. Trust that your body knows what it is doing. Oh, and don’t forget to rest, breathe, and be kind to yourself.

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.

Critic Reviews

"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)

"There is only one Caroline Dooner. She is funny and wise and unafraid to call bullshit where she sees it. And diet culture is nothing but bullshit. That's why we're lucky to have someone like her, reminding us all that it is possible to break the diet cycle - and while it may be hard, it's not necessarily complicated. Sometimes it really is as simple as saying, 'f*ck it.'" (Kelsey Miller, author of Big Girl: How I Gave Up Dieting and Got a Life)

Awesome book for people who think they’re “failing” at diets. Goes a step further than intuitive eating and explains why diets don’t work.

Finally something about food and weight and shame that is real! I was already there with killing myself at the gym and disordered eating, completely over it! After 45 years on the hamster wheel I am off.
Caroline has reinforced in me what I was starting to feel after feeling shame, hurt, disrespect because I had gained 14kg. And that was from my trainer! Live your life, and do what YOU want to do to feel good and be happy.

Get off the hamster wheel

2 weeks into my fuck it diet and this has already changed my life drastically. Have just ordered the paper version because this is a bible not just for diet but for life. Endlessly grateful for the words that Caroline Dooner so perfectly strung together to shift my perception on food, my body and life in general 🙏

Inspiring book with a positive message. It's not so much fat positive as it is body and health positive. I follow the author on Instagram too and she really cuts through the BS of the dieting world. If you've been on a thousand diets and are still unhappy with how you look you should give this book a go.

Read this book if you've ever 'failed' a diet!

My main takeaways would be self acceptance and trust, listening to your body and blocking out societies expectations! I already have a "f*#$ society" mindset so found this book easy to listen too, It may be a bit of a struggle for those who conform to societal expectations though. In saying that, listening to an audio and implementing are 2 different things! Excited and nervous!!!

Really enjoyed it
