The Center for Eating Disorders at Sheppard Pratt is pleased to present Dr. Linda Bacon, an internationally-recognized authority on topics relating to nutrition, weight and health. On Saturday, Nov. 8, Bacon will give a free presentation at The Conference Center at Sheppard Pratt from 2 to 4 p.m. In her presentation, Cultivating Body Respect for EveryBODY, Bacon will expose popular weight myths and ease concerns that dieting or controlling eating are a necessary part of attaining a healthy or desirable body.
Bacon is the best-selling author of “Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight,” which explains through science how people can overcome their weight struggles and improve their health—without dieting, deprivation or a focus on weight loss. Her most recent book, “Body Respect,” is seen as the insider’s guide not just to nutrition and our bodies, but to all that’s misunderstood about them.
