"An essay collection focused on media representations of the body, Chloé Hilliard's F*ck Your Diet is an irreverent must-read. Examining the quest for the so-called perfect body — a quest used to fuel Western consumerism — comedian Hilliard writes of her once-fraught relationship with her body, in the hope that others can find their way out of the yo-yo dieting cycle." —Bustle

"Chloé is the hilarious voice of reason we all need right now. I’m very grateful for this book." —Amy Schumer

"F*ck Your Diet isn’t merely a hilarious memoir of Hilliard’s own personal journey with health and wellness—it’s a well-researched study on diet culture, public policies that helped shape many health crises, and the history of Eurocentric standards of beauty. Her struggles with diet and body image are universally relatable and laugh-out-loud funny (she is a comedian, after all), but she pulls no punches in her research on how public policy and the media often set marginalized people up for failure (she’s also a journalist, after all)." —Book Riot

"Smart, inspiring and hilarious. Chloé lets it all hang out. We should too.” —Wanda Sykes

“F*ck Your Diet has received stellar reviews from everyone from Marc Lamont Hill to MTV Decoded’s Franchesca Ramsey, who called it ‘a witty whip-smart exploration of the ways society has screwed up the way we see our bodies.’ Let Ramsey tell it, your younger, less secure self needed this.” —Refinery29

“Informative, inspiring, and often hilarious. Fresh, whip-smart wisdom that will appeal most to women battling weight and self-esteem issues.” —Kirkus

“A heartfelt, amusing essay collection…The author’s self-love message will resonate with readers who appreciate narratives of personal and professional fulfillment.”—Publishers Weekly

“A witty, whip-smart exploration of the ways society has screwed up the way we see our bodies. Chloé blends together comedy and journalism in exciting and entertaining fashion. If only I could go back and time and give this book to my younger, less secure self.” --Franchesca Ramsey, host of MTV’s Decoded & author of Well, That Escalated Quickly

"Hysterical and honest, Chloé Hilliard holds nothing back in this f*cking JOY of a read!" —Jes Baker, author and creator of the Militant Baker

"F*ck Your Diet is the perfect recipe of raw humor, fresh insight, and sharp honesty. This book will disrupt your thinking on food, identity, and society. More important, it will inspire you to reimagine yourself and the world on more loving and humane terms. This offering marks Chloé Hilliard's emergence as one of the most important and original voices of her generation." —Marc Lamont Hill, Professor of Media Studies, Temple University and Host of BET News

"More than just memoir. This is a personal story that illustrates how the most intimate aspects of existence—the way our bodies look, the way we feel about and feed them, the quality of our lives—are shaped by history and public policy, by capitalism and by the environments we live in . . . But don’t worry. This book is still funny. In fact, it’s frequently hysterical." —BookPage

“F*ck Your Diet is essential reading for anyone who knows—or needs to learn—that there's more to life than losing weight.” —Bustle

"Chloé Hilliard will have you laughing, crying, and rooting for her the whole way...It's candid, raw, and has everything you need to get to know the star on a whole new level." —PopSugar

"In this gut-busting anti-diet book, the journalist-turned-standup comedian posits that the same society that shames us for being fat is also responsible for the socioeconomic issues, stress and chemicals in food that cause us to be fat in the first place." —PureWow
