Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Are some foods bad and others good? Do weight loss efforts lead to eating disorders? Should high weight be treated or even discussed at all? What does it mean to be "healthy?" The New Food Fight addresses these timely and provocative questions, provides science-based evidence in response to differing viewpoints, and ultimately aims to find common ground to unify the increasingly polarized worlds of eating disorders and weight management.
MoreLong description:
Eat this, not that. Enjoy all foods in moderation. Love yourself. Lose weight. These are just a few of the contradictory messages many of us face every day. No wonder we've never felt more confused about what to eat, how our bodies "should" look, and what it means to be "healthy."
Through personal narratives, clinical examples, extant research, as well as expert and stakeholder insights, The New Food Fight offers an incisive guide to the complex and increasingly polarized fields of eating disorders and weight management. Written with both expertise and empathy, the authors unpack common myths, address misinformation, and provide compelling recommendations to unite two fields that, as it turns out, may be more alike than they are different.
A must-read for anyone who has grappled with body image concerns, deliberated over what to eat, or found themselves torn between self-acceptance and wanting to change their body.
This insightful, wise, reasoned, and compassionate book brings light where heat has been the rule. The eating disorders and obesity fields, important potential allies, have been at odds, but need not be. The authors guide us in brilliant ways to that promised place.
