Kiwi author Lotta Dann is no stranger to sharing her struggles with the public, and she's turned her attention to diet culture in her latest release.

In 2018, Lotta shared her experience with alcohol and opened up about ditching the booze for good in her popular blog and subsequent books. 

Her focus then shifted to her weight - and she's since detailed her experience with extreme dieting and obsessing over calories, as well as her subsequent recovery in her new book Mrs D is Not on a Diet.

"It was just so full-on, but it worked and I just got so skinny and the praise - it was incredible. So I kept going and then I just couldn't make it work, and I tried every trick in the book, and I couldn't make it work."
