The usual weight loss nonsense but sometimes that’s good to hear. Loved how this just felt like listening to a podcast episode. Made cleaning the house easier for sure lol

Don't waste your time. Written from a place of privilege and by someone who has no deep. Issues with food. I feel the book description is barely a truth. 'Loves burgers', but doesn't eat it in full for example.

One of the stars for this review is especially for when the author mentioned putting a list of better things than comfort/stress eating attached to the pantry, fridge or freezer.

I'm torn on the first part of this book. I'm not a fan of wasting food and I'm certainly not a fan of a book telling me it's perfectly okay to waste food while not adding something like 'compost the food scraps and maybe start a suitable garden - which will taste better and of higher quality than store-bought, plastic-wrapped vegetables!'

On the other hand, I am not the target audience for this book and naturally it does not align with my pre-existing love of fruits, the avocado toast or toasties I have for breakfast, or grilled tomato I'll have for lunch because it is my favourite snack.
