Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program That Works
Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program That Works
We’ve all been there-angry with ourselves for overeating, for our lack of willpower, for failing at yet another diet that was supposed to be the last one. But the problem is not you, it’s that dieting, with its emphasis on rules and regulations, has stopped you from listening to your body.
Written by two prominent nutritionists, Intuitive Eating focuses on nurturing your body rather than starving it, encourages natural weight loss, and helps you find the weight you were meant to be.
Learn:
*How to reject diet mentality forever
*How our three Eating Personalities define our eating difficulties
*How to feel your feelings without using food
*How to honor hunger and feel fullness
*How to follow the ten principles of Intuitive Eating, step-by-step
*How to achieve a new and safe relationship with food and, ultimately, your body
With much more compassionate, thoughtful advice on satisfying, healthy living, this newly revised edition also includes a chapter on how the Intuitive Eating philosophy can be a safe and effective model on the path to recovery from an eating disorder.
User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Intuitive Eating
This is just another diet book that doesn’t call itself that!!
That seems to be the trend these days.”Let’s call it a change in life style. They won’t know the difference”
1 Stars Terrible book wish I never bought it
A lot of talk about intuitive eating but not much discussion on “how”. I stuck it in the donation bin.
5 Stars Great book!
I found this book to be very helpful in letting go of the guilt associated with eating & re-training my body to eat when I am only really & truly biologically hungry. Easy to understand & completely logical, I would recommend this book to anyone who struggles with diets.
5 Stars Have your cake, and eat it, too!
This is a great book for those who are sick of dieting and ready to “make peace with food,” which, by the way, is the third principle of the book. It teaches you how to end the deprivation-overeating cycle so that you can maintain a natural and healthy weight while still enjoying foods that you love.
This is for real; the authors of the book (both registered dieticians) want you to eat, but be aware this is not a “get-slim-quick” plan. The authors want to teach you how to normalize your relationship with food, so you don’t have to diet, and you need to be ready to give up dieting and put aside initial weight loss goals to acheive this. Intuitive Eating is a personal process not a plan, and weight loss is not its primary aim, just a delightful side effect.
As for my personal testimonial, I have been working with Intuitive Eating for a little less than a year, and the principles in the book are finally beginning to gel for me. The result is a net loss of 8 lbs ( I was only about 10-15 lbs overweight to begin with), but, more importantly, I feel great about myself and my body. I am healthy and happy and look forward to continuing my intuitive eating journey.
1 Stars move on!
Not a good book at all. The excerpts that the author allows you to read online are great but that is as far as it goes. I would look at buying a book by Kay Sheppard, but not this book. No way no how!
