Description for Body Kindness: Transform Your Health from the Inside Out--and Never Say Diet Again
Paperback. Body Kindness is the antidote to yo-yo diets and punishing workouts, and to the scolding voices in our heads that drive us to them. Nutritionist Rebecca Scritchfield helps readers work with their bodies to improve their health and weight by changing their habits, incorporating self-empathy, and understanding what brings you joy and energy. Num Pages: 224 pages, 4 colour illustrations. BIC Classification: VS. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 155 x 204 x 22. Weight in Grams: 612.
This is not a diet book - there are no menu plans or fitness routines here! Body Kindness addresses overall health (with a focus on both food and movement throughout) in four sections: What you do: the choices you make about food and nutrition, including mindful eating and eating with joy how you feel: your emotions, and how to change the voice in your head who you are: identifying your values and choices where you belong: finding your community each section includes inspiration as well as fun, scientifically based activities and exercises that focus on incremental, sustainable change. The exercises lead the emotions to spiral up, giving the reader insight and j rewards for positive change. The author makes a revolutionary yet scientifically proven declaration: You can lose weight only if you stop having weight loss as your goal. When you make choices about your health that are in line with your values, the result is a healthier body that you love. The goal of the book: to resolve the conflict where health and happiness diverge and help reconnect the two.

Ellie Krieger, MS, RD, host of Ellie's Real Good Food on public television and award-winning cookbook author For all of us who've been caught up in punishing cycles of busyness, perfectionism, crazy cleanses, deprivation, too much work, joyless to-do lists, and too little sleep, Rebecca Scritchfield's Body Kindness offers a refreshing antidote. In this common-sense, warm, and eminently practical guide backed by science and story, Scritchfield shows how taking time to pause and set our own internal compasses is the first step toward overcoming deeply held cultural expectations and transforming our lives.
Brigid Schulte, award-winning journalist and author of the New York Times bestselling Overwhelmed: How to Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time As a firm believer in the power of body positivity, I'm thrilled and impressed by Rebecca Scritchfield's amazing tips for manifesting a joyful, healthy outlook on life, and for honoring the body you have right now.
