Book Review: This Is Not A Diet Book: A User’s Guide To Eating Well by Bee Wilson

The start of a year sees promises made, goals refocused and, for many, a renewed effort to change their body.

Among the swathes of people swapping pubs for gyms are those dabbling in fad diets, many of which are unpleasant and unsustainable. Bee Wilson rails against such drastic eating changes in her short, sharp book aimed at altering readers’ habits for the better.

This Is Not A Diet Book looks to recondition people’s responses to food, making it a joy rather than a struggle, and is written, rather aptly, in easy-to-consume bite-size chunks.

Chapters are interspersed with recipes from the acclaimed food writer and all look delicious, albeit if some of the ingredients may not be found in your standard kitchen.

This is, however, an easy, enjoyable read thanks to the research, expertise and first-hand experiences of Wilson.

An interesting and educational pocket-sized read for all, not just those looking for change at the start of the year.
