About the Book

Topics include: The sexual politics of obesity and how to deal with them. Female food issues and eating disorders as oppressive tools of a sexist society. Fat as a consequence of erotic repression. Fitness as a conduit to sexual liberation.

This is definitely NOT your mother’s diet book!

Part diet and exercise manual, part female-ist (NOT neo-feminist or post feminist or post-neo feminist) polemic, part humorous yet intensely erotic memoir, The Sex Diet: for Women! is a unique work that is bound to arouse intense interest and inevitable controversy. Author and weight loss expert, Hope A. Carson has created, in The Sex Diet: for Women!, a fascinating exploration of the co-dependent relationship between two great American popular cultural obsessions: dieting and sex. With her irreverent, almost intimate conversational style, the author establishes a personal connection with her readers – much like the working relationship between a personal trainer and her clients. She then proceeds to make a series of startling connections between the level of female sexual satisfaction in our society (abysmally low . . .) and the rates of female obesity and related eating disorders (abominably high!). Ultimately, she sets the reader on a path of sexual awakening or, in some cases, reawakening through the physically transforming catharsis of diet and exercise. The Sex Diet: for Women! is much more than a damned good diet and exercise manual. It is an informative, disconcerting, entertaining, iconoclastic, and ultimately fascinating work – destined to become a new millennium pop culture classic.
