Ты красивее, чем тебе кажется. Как выработать здоровые пищевые привычки и принять себя

by Signe Darpinian, Shelley Aggarwal

Вы задумывались о том, как часто в течение дня мы думаем о еде? Это наша жизненная энергия, источник огромного удовольствия — и она же способна привести нас к стыду и угрызениям совести. Отношения с едой выстраиваются с детства. Важно, чтобы эти отношения были здоровыми, приносили удовольствие и хорошее самочувствие. Для этого необходимо выстроить грамотную систему питания. Эта книга с рекомендациями и упражнениями от ведущих мировых специалистов по пищевым привычкам воспитывает у подростков правильное отношение к собственному телу. Она рассказывает о том, как меняется подростковое тело, развенчивает мифы о диетах и вредной еде и помогает избежать расстройств пищевого поведения. Кроме того, в ней затрагиваются такие важные темы, как сон и его значение в нашей жизни, содержится полезная информация об эмоциях и управлении ими. Научные данные демонстрируют, почему забота о своем теле имеет такое большое значение и почему излишняя сосредоточенность на весе приводит к плохим последствиям. Прочитав книгу, подросток выстроит гармоничные отношения с едой и выработает сбалансированный режим физических нагрузок. Полученные знания позволят расслабиться и начать получать больше удовольствия от жизни. Но главное, о чем не дает забыть книга, — это то, что каждый заслуживает уважения и любви прямо сейчас, вне зависимости от состояния своего организма и мнимых «недостатков».

I wish I had had access to a book like this in my early teens and I wish society in the 90s hadn’t been so toxic towards body image. I don’t think we are even close to where we should be, but this book is working towards a big step in managing our expectations and re-defining beauty. I still can’t undo the mental damage of my teens and 20s. Reading this book, which is intended for young teens, was helpful even in my post-40 emotional relationships with my body.

I am on the hunt for body positive books for my teen nonfiction collection so I was really excited to read NO WEIGH and see if this fit the bill. The majority of this book is awesome -- clear and concise, with a lot of concrete ways to engage in connected eating (seems very similar to intuitive eating), joyful movement, and stress relief. Some of the references might feel a little off for teens (such as evoking Jennifer Lawrence) but overall I enjoyed this book. My only worry is that it is a workbook, so I have to figure out how to keep people from writing in it...

Львиная доля книги посвящена осознанному питанию, отношениям с едой и отношениям С САМИМ СОБОЙ (!). Тут не про «ты должен ходить в зал N раз в неделю» и не про «ешь то, а это не ешь», а про то, как чувствовать себя хорошо, как не заедать проблемы, почему мы вообще это делаем, какие ещё аспекты вызывают в нас желание обожраться.

Больше всего мне понравилась теория 10 уровней голода, раньше я не встречала такую. Автор учит определять, на каком ты уровне и в зависимости от этого принимать решение, что и когда есть.

Не смотря на то, что некоторые примеры и информация в книге явно написаны для подростков (блин, вот была бы у меня такая книга в 15!), многое будет полезно и взрослым, так как с нами никто о таких вещах обычно не говорит. Плюс, книга является одновременно и рабочей тетрадью, с кучей заданий и вопросов самому себе. Такой мини-поход к психологу.

Мне жаль, что у большинства фитнес программ и книг нет такого глубокого подхода к этой теме. Обычно всё заканчивается на «соль и сахар – это плохо, белок и овощи – хорошо», занимайся спортом, не ешь какахи и будешь красивым. К сожалению, не для всех это так легко, а проблемы в голове никто не помогает решать.

Fantastic guide to food, body, and wellness for teens!

[Regina Chari · Rating 4 out of 5]

I admit I was a bit skeptical about this book from the start. However the author's won me over. They did what they promised and more.

The book is a user friendly guide to body image and eating. It is written in a way that could be helpful for adults or teenagers.

The book approaches important topics like puberty, emotions, stress management, and sleep and exercise habits.

It discusses body diversity and acceptance and gives an approach to treating your body well without a diet! What a great read for teens and parents of teens

The publisher provided an ARC through Netgalley. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, giving my personal opinions and thoughts

As both a teen (for one more year at least) and someone who has struggled with body image, food, and emotions, I found this book to be wonderful. It was short, easy to understand, and loaded with helpful advice that I wish I had gotten when I was just beginning my teenage years.

No Weigh! broke down body image, food, and emotion to find where struggles with these subjects come from. Not only did it break these things down scientifically, but it gave both specific and generalized examples to help the reader understand the point the authors are trying to get across.

This book also gave a lot of exercises for the reader to do to help deal with some of the struggles that come along with being a teen. These give the reader a real life way to begin dealing with issues in a positive and constructive way.

I honestly think that this book is going to be able to help a lot of people, and what is amazing about it is it is not geared towards a certain gender or age: it is all inclusive. Give it to any teen and they will come out of reading it with new skills to help them through navigating the teen years.

I am going to give No Weigh! five out of five hearts.

A simple guide and workbook for teenagers about facing body image, weight and health issues.



This is a positive guide to help teens reevaluate how they view and judge themselves and their body from not taking the scale at face value or comparing themselves constantly to others in the media or around them.



With space to write and tips for thought changing, this book will help them understand and adapt their bad thoughts into positive ones to help them in the future and grow from where they are now.



It may be small but this book could be life changing for many youngsters in my opinion and avoid many body based issues in my opinion.



Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

A really well written book that gave great advice and was written in a way that wasn't patronising, but wasn't too adult either. I enjoyed the range of exercises that it provided, and the way it helps in many aspects of life, not just in food and body image. I would highly recommend this book to all young people, and even adults too.

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read this to check it out before passing it onto my kids. Very good and would have been useful when I was a teen. It hits topics like sleep and stress before even dealing with food, which is great.

Some references are a bit outdated for todays teens, but that’s cool.

See muutis mu vaatepilti päris palju, kindlasti soovitan teismelistele seda raamatut.

[Krystal · Rating 5 out of 5]

I highly recommend this insightful workbook which uses a plethora of cognitive behavioural, dialectical, and narrative therapeutic approaches to revolutionise healthy eating for teens!

[April · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a very interesting and informative book on body positivity for teens, there are tips for thought changing, which I thought were very helpful. It is short so it will be a quick read but I will be very useful to teens who need it. I would really recommend it.
