The Death of A Diet: The untold (mostly true) stories: Real women and their battles with fitness, food and finding purpose

In a genre-bending book that blurs the lines of fiction and nonfiction, the author challenges the reader to identify their own truth about weight loss, diet, and body image by experiencing the truth of others.

Fitness professional Renee knows all the stories, the secrets, and the struggles of people working toward fitness goals first-hand. Through her many clients, she's witnessed how people seek self-worth and purpose through the size and shape of their body. Through Renee and her complementing cast of characters, the readers will discover the truth that a chiseled body, a trim figure, and a toned and tough physique, doesn't always match the mindset. In fact, it can lead to death.

Inspired by the personas of the author's real clients, Debbie Rae Triplett's new book combines fiction and nonfiction to navigate the pitfalls and mental aspects of pursuing a healthier lifestyle. Death of a Diet mirrors real stories and reveals the reality of how body image interferes with healthy choices.
