No Weigh!: Everything You've Been Told About Weight Loss Is a Lie
Never suffer through another weight-loss lecture from your doctor again.
Before you start your next diet, it’s essential you understand that being fat doesn't make you sick, and losing weight won't improve your health. Those are just lies the weight-loss industry has been force-feeding you from birth. Oh, and your doctors are in on it.
I know this because I spent the first twenty years of my medical career peddling their lies. Now I'm here to tell you that there's no such thing as a healthy weight and that weight loss isn't just a waste of time – it's dangerous and causes long-term damage.
This book will arm you with the truth and help you skip the weigh-in and the weight-loss lecture. Your symptoms are not caused by your weight, and it's time your doctor knew it.
Dr Asher Larmie is a GP and one of the world's leading advocates for weight-inclusive healthcare.
This book contains references to medical trauma, weight stigma, cancer, eating disorders, fertility treatment, organ donation, medical racism, and childhood trauma. Please take care of yourself as you read.

Very important and interesting read. Extra recommended if you are a healthcare professional, are fat, or want to understand better what your fat loved ones go through at the doctors’ surgery. Everyone should have the right to objective and respectful healthcare, whatever their size.
I hope this book is published via a traditional publisher one day in order to maximise its reach.
Wonderful work Asher, and I will be following the podcast immediately.
