Two Whole Cakes: How to Stop Dieting and Learn to Love Your Body

By Lesley Kinzel

Book Overview

From the internationally renowned Fatshionista blogger, a "vulnerable, funny, whip-smart" celebration of fat acceptance and body confidence (Hanne Blank).

From Photoshopped pictures to food-shaming to the latest crop of diet fads, our culture is obsessed with weight--as in, the less of it the better. In this spirited book based on the popular blog of the same name, Lesley Kinzel urges readers to do away with calorie-counting, cutting carbs, and all of the diet "secrets" foisted on us by the media. Instead of conforming to an unrealistic and unnecessary standard, the key to confidence--and happiness--is to learn to love the body you have, no matter what shape you are.

Full of personal observations, enthusiastic encouragement, and straightforward advice, this is the non-diet book for everyone who wants to enjoy life at any size. Hanne Blank, author of Big, Big Love, calls it, "a delightfully readable way out of our culture's unrealistic expectations of body size and appearance."
