This is a positive and body affirming book. The author (who also narrates her own work), is well qualified to advise on this area, being as she is, a psychologist and dietitian (among many other impressive qualifications!). This well narrated book is the antidote to the despondency that comes with diet culture, and instead amongst the chapters lie more holistic and long term solutions to our heal our poor relationship to food that has suffered from years of immersion in diet culture. Expect mindfulness, compassion and many other beautiful solutions!

I love the warmth and authenticity embedded in the narration of this book - I am 100% sold and absolutely recommend this book to anyone else who needs their relationship with food and body image healed!!

My thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an advance copy.

A good, practical guide to healing your relationship with food and your body. Tovar does a really good job of moving through this information with positivity and compassion. The narrator has an extremely soothing voice that allows you to tackle some tough subjects (like disordered eating) without feeling triggered.

I listened to the audio version of Deprogram Diet Culture and found it to be scientific in it's message and also it's terminology and the case studies seemed somewhat extreme and therefore unrelateable (to me) It was however just a short read/listen and packed a powerful message delivered by an actual qualified professional as opposed to a lot of the self proclaimed 'experts' we come across so often these days in the media,
My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for my early copy in return for my honest opinion.

I think books like Deprogram Diet Culture are important reads for everyone. We could all learn a lot of slowing down and being more mindful with our consumption of all things.

I love the overall message. We tear ourselves apart to fit an image that is often unreasonable.

Thank you to NetGalley, Dr. Supatra Tovar, and ANEW for the opportunity to read it. I have written this review voluntarily.

This is an encouraging, accessible overview of the CBT steps needed to unlearn diet culture and relearn more natural eating habits. I love that the author is both a clinical psychologist and a registered dietitian, lending huge credibility in an age of faux experts on social media. It’s also fantastically short- 4 hours on audio, less than 200 pages in hardback- without excessive stories or flowery language. To boil this book down any further would be a PowerPoint presentation, and I appreciate that in nonfiction. 4.5⭐️!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced listener copy in exchange for an honest review.
