About this listen

'Truly life-changing' - Dolly Alderton

'The only 'diet' book worth reading this new year' - Alexandra Heminsley, Grazia


Just Eat It isn’t just a book. It’s part of a movement to help us take back control over our bodies. To free us from restrictive dieting, disordered eating and punishing exercise. To reject the guilt and anxiety associated with eating and, ultimately, to help us feel good about ourselves.

This anti-diet guide from registered nutritionist Laura Thomas PhD can help you sort out your attitude to food and ditch punishing exercise routines. As a qualified practitioner of Intuitive Eating – a method that helps followers tune in to innate hunger and fullness cues – Thomas gives you the freedom to enjoy food on your own terms.

There are no rules: only simple, practical tools and exercises including mindfulness techniques to help you recognize physiological and emotional hunger, sample conversations with friends and colleagues, and magazine and blog critiques that call out diet culture.

So, have you ever been on a diet? Spent time worrying that you looked fat when you could have been doing something useful? Compared the size of your waistline to someone else's? Felt guilt, actual guilt, about the serious crime of . . . eating a doughnut? You're not alone. Just Eat It gives you everything you need to develop a more trusting, healthy relationship with food and your body.

The audiobook of Just Eat It includes four bonus podcast episodes featuring the author, Laura Thomas PhD, RNutr, and a contributor per episode including Sofie Hagen, Natalie Lee (of StyleMeSunday), Tally Rye and Clemmie Telford.

Critic reviews

Truly life-changing ... It’s about trusting your appetite - something that shouldn’t be radical, yet something many women (including myself) see as a hugely daunting task. (Dolly Alderton)
Laura is a passionate and intelligent voice of new thinking, a fire starter of the revolution in how we think about food, eating and our bodies. (Brigid Moss, Contributing Editor, Red)

Whatever your relationship with exercise and food, Thomas is such a breath of fresh air. (Alice Broster, Bustle)

All stars
Most relevant
Evidence-based advice from somebody who knows their subject. Well-informed and full of tools to help you give up food rules while tuning back into your body and the signals it is giving you. Nourishment for body and soul. I wish I had this book years ago. The author is clear and her compassion shines through.

Compassionate and real

The journal prompts are great, I really like how it follows intuitive eating principles. The first half has added so much value and presented things slightly differently to other books I have read on the same topic. The second half is slightly less helpful, however.

Great content, a little fat phobic in places

Brilliant read/listen. Shame there is no PDF for activities though, try and bookmark or complete as you go. Other than that I think it just might have changed my life!

A must!

Laura comes across as very authentic and with lots of integrity. She is compassionate and understanding whilst also encouraging the reader to re-examine how they are thinking and what they are doing. I decided not to opt for intuitive eating at this time, but still found lots of benefit in the book - her focus on the reader’s choice is one of the many strengths of this book.

Interesting and challenged my thinking

Such an amazing book! Truly helps to reconnect with yourself and challenge society perception about women's bodies.
