A review by allzen_nochill
The Ministry of Thin by Emma Woolf

1.0

It's rare that I can't finish a book. But when the author mentions how calorie restriction is the "healthier" option after spending two chapters engaging in fatphobic language, I had enough. Woolf consistently mentions "studies" without actually giving her readers citations to double-check, which lends to a lack of credibility in her writing. I have serious doubts as to whether the author is as "recovered" as she claims. While I don't discourage those who are still on their journey from sharing their thoughts and experiences, presenting them as gospel (as Woolf does here) can be dangerous for others.
