How to Be Thin in a World of Chocolate by Michele Connolly
2.0
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.
