Social media is a major part of modern life. Most of us can't imagine not using it, and it's unrealistic to assume that's even possible. Platforms like Instagram, Twitter and Facebook haven't been around long, but they have already made far-reaching impacts on our health and wellbeing. We are only just beginning to understand the influence these platforms have over our decisions around food and health, with many of these processes happening without our being aware. But maybe we should be aware. From influencers deciding what foods we buy to government policy, via food shaming and comparison envy, activism and extremism, the role social media plays is now undeniable. In The Insta-Food Diet, registered nutritionist Pixie Turner will guide you through the various ways social media has affected our food choices, our restaurants, and our food policy. By the end, you'll be armed with knowledge and tactics, so you can take back control and make social media work for you.

Become a diet rebel and make friends with food. Can you remember a time in your life without diets? Without seeing adverts for diets, hearing about diets, or being on a diet? Most of us would struggle to imagine it. Our obsession with being healthy has driven us to push our bodies to the absolute limits, but still every year we're told how unhealthy we are as a population. Despite a wealth of information at our fingertips, we get so much wrong about food and health. The No Need to Diet Book challenges misconceptions about what it is to be healthy and helps us make better friends with food, using evidence-based science.

How does food make you feel? If it's a source of guilt, shame, or punishment, have you ever stopped to ask why? We've become so used to the concept of 'good' and 'bad' foods that we barely notice the drastic statement we're making when we say we are a bad person for eating something sweet. In FOOD THERAPY, Pixie Turner presents a new approach to our relationship with food. Instead of focusing on rules, reduction and restriction, this practical book will help you uncover the psychological roots of your eating habits - and introduce you to a new mindset that will free you from a destructive relationship with food. Whether you struggle with disordered eating, body image problems, or feel trapped by diet culture, Pixie's experience as a registered nutritionist and psychotherapist allows her to guide you through how your feelings a ffect what you eat. By showing how our eating habits are often an attempt at solving underlying problems, and how to face the difficult emotions and memories behind them, FOOD THERAPY empowers you to eat freely for life and feel truly at home in your body.

Under the new rules of social media, we are not what we eat, but rather what others believe we eat. Social media is a major part of modern life.
