Showing results for "Shame" in Diets, Nutrition & Healthy Eating

In Live Nourished, Shana Spence starts by exposing diet culture for what it is: a patriarchal, capitalist mindset that is engrained in countless aspects of our society, and that keeps us from living healthily and joyfully. It’s a systemic belief that equates fitness, health, and thinness with worth and assigns food a moral value. And it’s a belief that pervades our society.

The diet industry is a monster, probably among the largest money makers in the world, and you are giving them your hard-earned money. This insightful book explains why those diets fail again and again and ultimately empowers you to break patterns and take control of your own eating habits. If you’re a binge eater, food addict, or feel you can’t control your eating and commercial diet plans haven’t helped, this book will allow you to understand yourself.

Today's culture has distorted the way women view our bodies. We are hypercritical, obsessed with weight loss, and distracted by the countless advertisements we see to eat, exercise, and dress differently. But God does not call you to be thinner or to follow a perfectly clean diet plan. Rather, God longs for you to embrace your body, eat with freedom, and live with a deep sense of confidence that you are loved exactly as you are.

If you’ve struggled with finding a deeper, healthier, and happier connection to your body, food, and lifestyle, the Invisible Fitness Formula is the answer. Recent research in mind–body medicine indicates that if we are truly going to heal the obesity epidemic that has tripled in the past fifty years, a holistic, mindful approach is key.
