The Chic Diet: The Dietary and Psychological Tactics of the Urban Elite by Kit Olsen

2.0

I am so fascinated by the existence of this book. Who is kit olsen? This is the only book she's published, and it is basically an unironic guide on how to develop an eating disorder, to the point where I was embarrassed about anyone looking over my shoulder while reading it. I mean it is satire, but it's also a meticulously detailed, glamorizing and encouraging guide to keep up disordered behavior. Specific brands of prescription drugs, juice cleanses, especially the section about muesli bars left me thinking I was reading genuinely instructional material. I mean it is a fascinating read but only if you are 100% recovered from your eating disorder (and if you've never had an eating disorder, I don't think this will be interesting at all). Idk.?
