The Power Of Imperfect Eating by Kavita Bhatnagar [Hardcover]

Dr. Bhatnagar’s book offers us timely and effective guidance on how to change our eating habits if we want to move away from a lifestyle of ''living to eat'' to a lifestyle of ''eating to live well''. Professor Das Narayandas, Edsel Bryant Ford Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School

In Power of Imperfect Eating, Dr. Kavita Bhatnagar introduces readers to a unique journey through the lens of a food technologist, nutritionist, and psychologist who is deeply passionate about food choices and consumer behaviour.

Rather than dictating which foods are good or bad, this book offers a different perspective. It's not about laying down dietary rules or giving nutrition advice. Instead, it weaves together stories―stories that mirror the intricate, emotional, and often imperfect connection we all share with food. Through these narratives, it invites you to reflect, not just on what you eat, but on how food fits into the broader journey of your life.

Through these stories, you’ll explore how food shapes our lives, our behaviours, and our choices in ways that go far beyond the plate. You’ll meet characters navigating real dilemmas around food, health, and lifestyle―whether it’s reading food labels, balancing health goals, or simply understanding why they eat the way they do.

The book encourages readers to embrace imperfection in their relationship with food, finding peace in progress rather than perfection. Challenging the conventional habit of categorizing food as either "good" or "bad," she guides readers to re-evaluate how they engage with food in their everyday life without guilt, without judgment―just curiosity and understanding.

And just when you think you’ve learned it all, the author unveils something truly transformative at the end―a powerful tool that will become the reader’s greatest asset in creating lasting, positive change in their relationship with food and health. This revelation makes Power of Imperfect Eating an essential guide for anyone ready to take control of their well-being.
