Body Harmony is Berrie’s effort to lead people back to trusting themselves over the often conflicting crush of messages handed down by Big Diet and Wellness.
It began with the clandestine bags of Doritos she’d bring to bed at age seven, around “the same time my parents’ marriage began to unravel”, she writes, and she began to suffer chronic verbal, emotional, and at times physical abuse from someone close to her. “I would clutch that foil bag like a security blanket in the dark,” Berrie remembers in.
Popular advice like “eat six small meals per day” or trends like juice cleanses dispensed in prepackaged portions, she writes, only encourage people to blindly follow formulas while tuning out their own intuition. “What happens when you get too hungry? Oh, my gosh, you’ll overeat,” Berrie says, summarising the long-held conventional wisdom. “‘Don’t go food shopping hungry because you’ll lose control.’ The underlying message is that we’re not meant to be trusted.
