Feed Yourself: Step Away from the Lies of Diet Culture and into Your Divine Design

Diet culture is pervasive in American society, even in safe places like schools, playgrounds, medical offices, and places of worship. Leslie Schilling, a Christian dietitian and nutrition therapist, helps individuals struggling with food, body concerns, chronic dieting, and disordered eating understand diet-culture myths, fight the lies we've been told, and discover the truth about health, well-being, and how God sees us. In her book "Feed Yourself," she teaches how to pinpoint the lies of diet culture, understand that health is far more than what we eat or how we move, step away from the shame and guilt you may feel about your body, trust your body, identify what it needs, and find freedom in food. She encourages individuals to accept that they are fearfully and wonderfully made, unrelated to their body size or what's on their plate.

Diet culture is pervasive in American society, even in our safest places. It is found in schools, playground conversations, medical offices, and even in our places of worship. We are often sold well-meaning messages wrapped in Bible verses that are actually rooted in the diet culture born of this world. It is only when we begin to see the lies of diet culture that we can fight back, build resilience, and trust our divine design.

Christian dietitian and nutrition therapist Leslie Schilling counsels hundreds of people every year who are struggling with food, body concerns, chronic dieting, and disordered eating. She helps them understand diet-culture myths, fight the lies we have been told (and sold), and discover the truth about health, well-being, and how God sees us.

In "Feed Yourself," you will learn how to:
1. Pinpoint the lies of diet culture all around you, even in our places of worship.
2. Understand that health is far more than what we eat or how we move.
3. Step away from the shame and guilt you may feel about your body.
4. Trust your body and recognize the cues your body gives you.
5. Identify what your body truly needs.
6. Find freedom in food and learn to define health for yourself.

It is time to accept that you are fearfully and wonderfully made—a truth unrelated to your body size or what is on your plate. Cheers to freedom!
