This book was an excellent look at diet culture, health practice, and wellness culture is based on the upholding of white, thin body types and serves little else. It looks at how diet culture is often traumatizing too and health practices alienate black women, and see them as having no knowledge of their own bodies and selves. 

As a registered dietician who treats women in eating disorders, she offered a unique perspective about how current perspectives and treatment of eating disorders, is all based on a specific body type and actively ignores, or often encourages unhealthy eating patterns for black women if they believe it will further their weight loss, even at the risk of their own health. 

I think this book is well-timed and needed, especially after the additional wellness culture booms following the COVID-19 pandemic.
