In this book, registered dietitian Rachael Hartley brings to light how gentle nutrition fits into the context of intuitive eating. She explores why diets don't work, why weight doesn't equal health, and how to approach eating in a flexible and sustainable way, with the goal of cultivating a peaceful relationship with food.
