I've had this book in my to-read shelf for a while, after reading about the HAES movement in various blogs. I'm only a couple of chapters in, but so far it lives up to my expectations. For me personally it's a bit "self-help-y", probably because its audience is mostly yo-yo dieters and other people ...
The premise is that dieting causes our problems with appropriate self-regulation when it comes to eating. Book advocates a different approach to food, with acceptance of current size and focus on recalibrating natural ability to sense satiety.
The tone is a little self-helpy for my taste but the content is spot on.
