Approaching nourishment through a non-diet lens

It’s refreshing to see the trend in the “9 Best Nutrition Books of 2023” – less jumping to the next-best-superfood, and more emphasis on stepping away from diet idealism and into a more sustainable relationship with eating and self-nourishment. Gentle Nutrition: A Non-Diet Approach to Healthy Eating by Rachel Hartley, RDN, builds on the wonderful work this IE-certified American RD does on her website, emphasizing how intuitive eating can co-exist with medical nutrition therapy. Hartley’s blog The Joy of Eating is an excellent source of approachable articles to share with nutrition clients to start a discussion about what effective nutrition therapy support might look like without an intentional weight loss goal.
