About this listen

Diet Starts Monday is a no-BS guide to body acceptance in a looks-obsessed world.

Plus-size TV personality and body confidence advocate Laura Adlington has struggled with her weight (and the weight of other people's opinions) her entire life. Here, in conversation with experts including doctors, psychologists and nutritionists, Laura reveals just how detrimental diet culture is to health, and explores where our true worth lies.

Packed with personal stories and practical advice, this book will help you find peace with your body – not be at constant war with it.

By undoing negative ingrained beliefs about beauty and value, and focusing on building inner confidence, Diet Starts Monday will empower you to live a fun and full life – whatever your size.

Brings all issues about dieting into a really inspiring book. Lots to think about and put into practice.

Really inspiring

This book is an amazing reminder that we all go through the motions. Some things in life can feel so isolating but when you then feel like others can relate to your internal struggles…that is really everything! This is an important book. Every woman and every man should read this or listen to it. Thank you, Laura Adlington, for your brave vulnerability and strength. I appreciate you!

Loved hearing about Laura’s experiences which really resonated with me. As somebody be who’d had my body commented on my entire life, I thought that I was displaying positive body behaviours in front of my nieces, now I realise I have some work to do. ❤️

Educational, heart warming and thought provoking. I loved it.

Laura has a very pleasant voice to listen to and you can tell she tells her own story. The book makes you think about all the big and small ways we are being influenced by media and society. Very useful facts and research, combined with exercises and tips. Definitely recommend!

Makes you think!

As a listener of the Go Love Yourself pod from day one, when Laura announced that she was writing a book, I was very excited. This book did not disappoint. Amazing. So much resonates with me. As a life long fat girl, who has struggled with disordered eating, I am on a mission. To take up space, accept my body and give it what it needs, and shun diet culture. This was everything I needed to hear. Thank you Laura.

Life changing.

I loved listening to this, so much so I finished it in 5 days. It was super relatable, especially the mention about toxic diet culture and slimming clubs. As a woman in her 40’s I have been there more times than I care to imagine and lost loads of weight, only to put on even more months later! ‘Syns’ anyone?? Oh gosh it’s all so bad, and I remember my Mum saying that’s why she didn’t like SW as it felt like you were doing something wrong for eating certain ‘bad’ foods!
No doubt the book will get some negative attention, simply because of the topic at hand. But honestly, never before have I felt so seen than listening to Laura’s heartfelt account of her story and I’m sure that many others will feel like me too, that it could have been written by us, with all of the negative experiences that she has had to endure growing up a bigger child and adult. Definitely, me too!

Thank you Laura for sharing your relatable story, it makes me feel that I’m not alone in my experience of growing up in a bigger body and moves me more into accepting myself for who I am, like you say.. ‘my weight is the least important thing about me’ and this is now firmly etched into my mind, life and heart.
Never let your size hold you back from any experiences you want to have, or share.. and live your life to the full every single day. Thank you 🙏 🤍🤍🤍

The most relatable book ever

As an ex-SW member who has recently come out from the diet mentality, this was exactly what I didn't know I needed. Highly recommend

Realistic, raw and honest

I listened to it all as soon as it was released. Laura is so interesting (and has nice clothes). Ideal for anybody who’s a victim of the sad step (scales). A must listen title.

This is brilliant.

I like the book. It is realise depicted of fat /plus size/ curvy life. Interesting views on the good fat. The shortcoming of media view of fat shaming and weight stigma.

loving yourself
