Food Is Not the Enemy

As an infant you ate intuitively. As an adult you’ve been taught to ignore God’s design and follow a culture of obsession, restriction, and shame. But God never designed you to micromanage food, fear fullness, or idolize thinness. He created you with a body that is “fearfully and wonderfully made,” a body that is good and can be trusted.

In Jesus Ate Carbs Abbie Frye, known as the “non-diet dietitian,” shows you how to surrender the food rules you’ve absorbed from diet culture, reconnect with your body’s God-given biological signals for hunger and fullness, and finally stop treating your body like a problem to fix. Through her SATISFIED framework, Abbie helps you

• understand the connection between your relationship with your body and your relationship with God,
• break free from diet culture and let go of the belief that there are “good foods” and “bad foods”,
• recognize when you’re turning to food for comfort and find what to reach for instead, and
• learn how to genuinely view your body as God does (hint: it’s a masterpiece!).

Jesus Ate Carbs isn’t another plan to follow or diet to try. It’s an invitation to let go of the shame and anxiety that have defined your relationship with your body and food and build a new one filled with kindness, patience, and joy so that you can eat, live, and rest the way God designed.
