Body kindness의 명언
What would happen if you treated your body with kindness instead of punishment?
Diet culture has us convinced that controlling our weight equals controlling our health and happiness.
Your body isn't the problem - it's your mind that needs to shed the weight of believing.
You can only take people as far as you have come.
Food isn't toxic, but fear of food can be.

이 책에 대한 FAQ
Body Kindness advocates for self-compassion over shame to improve physical and mental health. It outlines four principles: aligning daily choices with well-being (WHAT YOU DO), managing emotions (HOW YOU FEEL), setting values-based goals (WHO YOU ARE), and finding supportive communities (WHERE YOU BELONG). The anti-diet approach encourages joyful habits like intuitive eating and mindful movement rather than restrictive diets.
