Sooooo much good information regarding how to navigate diet culture and keep your children (or yourself!) off the path of disordered eating. Highly recommend.

I've been overweight most of my life, and I wish my mother had this book. My life may have been very different. In Diet-Proof Your Daughter, Amelia Sherry provides the reader with guidance to prepare caregivers of daughters with an insightful, refreshing, and ironically basic understanding of diet culture, challenges as a woman, and how to give daughters and mothers kindness, compassion, and care.

Words matter, and Sherry gives such a broad and encompassing perspective of all the things that may trigger daughters without knowing it because, as a grown-up, I can see how this plays into my choices for everything. "Disapproval doesn't work… it triggers shame and hurt," Sherry explains in her book.

What does work is being direct and positive about eating food. It's not about the type of food; it's about the beliefs about the food. The book is conversational and sounds just like Amelia. I know because I worked with her a few years ago. Although I am not a mother, I am an aunt who loves her niece, Emilia!

I spend weekends caring for my sister's kids, a son and a daughter. Now, I can communicate my thoughts about food and body image as a woman in a larger body. Thank you, Amelia Sherry, for this fresh take on dieting, womanhood, and life.

I really appreciated how this book was laid out, with combining both experts evidence based insights, journaling prompts to reflect on intentionally, as well as the authors own bold sharing of beautiful insights to her lived experience as a daughter and mother.
As a dietitian who also works with both mothers and daughters in this area, and this was such a refreshing read to see out in publication. (And I will say I think helpful and applicable even for those of us who aren’t parents but have children in our lives in varying ways, or our own upbringings around diets).
This book excels in bringing a new framework and approach without overwhelming the reader. Excellent work. Thanks for bringing another lens and much needed specialty to the anti-diet space.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book brings to the table what we do not speak enough of - healthy personal identity. It takes a healthy relationship with self and intimate family, to build resilience toward society's expectations and the people whose opinions we should not care much about. It is great to read about a mum's perspective, based on a profession and science.

While I feel there is a need to help our daughters have a positive body image, I feel this book simplifies the steps in relation to the overwhelming noise of the world (social media, media, men, other women, etc). One parent vs the world is a lot of responsibility. Some good thoughts and many that has me questioning whether what was being presented was real.

Interesting, probably healthier perspective than one usually sees in books about diet and bodies. I can't verify the science, but recommend for anyone dealing with youth, as a parent or in another role.

Cannot recommend this book more highly. this is an easy to understand and digestible guide how to protect your daughters or loved ones from toxic diet culture. It includes patient stories and authors own experience with diet and exercise culture, very valuable for rds, mds, and lay people too
