"Much like other diet books, diet books for an LDS audience frame the discussion as a health discussion, rather than a weight loss one, even though weight loss is consistently discussed in the books. But unlike other diet books, diet books for an LDS audience focus on the narrative of obedience to the Word of Wisdom as the basic premise. These diet books frame the reader as disobedient (not fully living the Word of Wisdom) and offer various calls to action to remedy the disobedience. In other words (according to these books), Mormons are experiencing poor health, and lack of complete obedience is the culprit. As an individual, it’s much harder to argue against a call to weight loss when it is framed in the narrative of obedience because now size becomes a physical manifestation of spirituality."
