Fat Like Us

In this book we meet men and women who have struggled with weight their entire lives and who come to the Rice Diet in order to finally conquer their unruly bodies.

We experience all stages of their journey, from their Call to Durham to their inevitable backsliding to their embrace of the Occupation of Dieting.

Through deft portraits and compelling narratives, Jean Renfro Anspaugh helps us to understand what it means to be physically and emotionally transformed by a powerful diet experience.

The book will prompt you to take charge of your life.
