Description

Is it the sweet, the dinner, the pizza, the burger, or the souvlaki that makes you gain weight? You may have believed it until now, but this narrative needs to end.
No matter how much they try to convince you from every direction, it’s not specific foods that make you gain weight or, conversely, make you lose weight. After all, even the little cow eats grass, but it’s not considered the "gazelle" of the forest.
First, you must love yourself, and then you will achieve your dietary goal, simply because you cannot heal a body that you hate.
If you follow Vasilis Katsilas on the path outlined in this book, where healthy eating meets spiritual well-being, you will discover a new way of life that leaves rigid diets behind and embraces freedom and self-awareness.
First, your thinking about nutrition will change, and then your body will change.

This book is not just another diet publication with overused concepts. It approaches practical nutrition in a way that you can immediately apply and see results in your goals.
It explores the psychological background behind your dietary choices, helping you to better understand yourself and your habits. With a groundbreaking approach to the myths of nutrition, the book provides practical tools and advice that will help you change your mindset. It aims to change for the better, leading you to a new world full of healthy choices and self-awareness.

Why we loved it:

The book is aimed at those who are tired of restrictive diets and desire a meaningful change. Katsilas emphasizes that the word "diet" originally meant "way of life," and his book seeks to restore this concept. The goal is not to promote yet another diet, but to change the mindset towards food and the body. It advocates love instead of oppression and consciousness instead of punishment.

The book includes a test with about 60 questions that do not assess fat loss, but behaviors and skills related to nutrition. A reduction in the score on this test over time indicates improvement. The author's ultimate goal is for people to educate themselves, love themselves, and not depend on dietitians or diet plans.


What the Book Is Not:

The book does not recycle the usual dietary advice. Instead, its content is "unconventional," as it does not demonize foods like chocolates or donuts. It emphasizes that it is not specific foods that make us gain weight, but the behavior and lack of awareness towards them.

    F@ck the Diet is one of those books that doesn't just come to tell you "what to eat," but forces you to see your diet and your body from a completely new perspective. Vasilios Katsilas doesn't sugarcoat things, nor does he fill you with guilt. On the contrary, he challenges you to deconstruct all the dietary stereotypes we've learned to believe – from "pizza makes you gain weight" to "you have to punish yourself to achieve goals."

    What I liked most is the message that you first need to love your body – and then take care of it. It's a book that shouts "enough with the diet" and instead of deprivation, gives you tools to build a balanced relationship with food and yourself.

    With simple and direct language, without scientific-sounding blah blah, but also with meaningful psychological observations, the author puts you on a path of self-discovery. It's not just another guide "to lose weight," but a guide to stop punishing yourself.

    If you feel tired of diets, deprivation, and insecurities about your body, F@ck the Diet is a book you need to read. Because in the end, everything starts from the way you think – and this book gives you the power to change that.
