Smart People Don’t Diet
Forget the fad diets: a professor of psychology (Rutgers) offers a science-based approach to healthy eating and weight management (backed by research from scientists, doctors, nutritionists, and psychologists).
Called “possibly the best books on weight loss ever written” by Scientific American, Smart People is as much about why you should not diet as it is about the psychology of body image, physical activity, and health in general.

What would it be like to feel good about your body? Does anyone really fully appreciate their body? If diverse body shapes and sizes were shown in the media, would this change your perception?

Featuring chapters written by leading, international experts in the science and practice of body image, Body Positive is a provocative and engaging look at how we feel about our physical selves in the twenty-first century - and how we can all come to feel better than we currently do.
