Food Freedom Forever: Letting Go of Bad Habits, Guilt, and Anxiety Around Food by Melissa Hartwig Urban

4.0

Some really useful perspectives on reshaping the way you eat. I did a Whole30 a year ago and it was a great opportunity to reset and rethink the kinds of things I eat, the kinds of patterns I blindly follow around food and the complicated web of feelings around all this. For Whole30 there are already great resources. But now, [a:Melissa Hartwig|5378294|Melissa Hartwig|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1474561641p2/5378294.jpg] has written a great guide to what comes after the reset: i.e. the rest of your life. This book came on the back of lots of user feedback that they wanted something to help with the transition into non-reset / non-Whole30 life, and she's really delivered with this book. It's free of the moralising prescription that plagues so many other books of this kind, and she brings a lot of hard-won experience to the table (either her own stories or those of the thousands of others who she's helped through the Whole30 experience). If you've done a Whole30 and need some support, this is the book for you. And unless you live in a cave somewhere, I think it's probably pretty essential since we live in a society and a system which does not reward or promote healthy eating / living behaviours.

P.S. Even if you haven't read Hartwig's other books, this is worth reading since she covers the basics of the Whole30 reset. It's stand-alone, though obviously you'll get more benefit from it as a post-whole30-er...
