Product Description
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.

5 out of 5 stars eating when hungry - what a novel idea!   November 11, 2009
L. Taylor (Utah)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

From my title, you might think I hated the book, but actually I loved it. In our culture, we are so attuned to food being used as a solution to our issues, to food being used as a recreation, to food being used as a social tool, that we have seemingly forgotten that food's primary purpose is to nourish our bodies so we can do some good in this world. That eating it can also be physically pleasurable - and that food so often plays other roles - seems to have taken precedence over all else.

This book takes us back to the beginning of our eating lives, gets us back in touch with our actual needs, and gives us permission to once again experience the pure pleasure of eating.

I don't have an eating disorder but I learned lots from this book. I think any American, and particularly any American woman, feels guilt when she "indulges" in some food that is "forbidden." This book shines a true light on that issue. With so much emphasis on weight, dieting, and non-stop exercising, it's refreshing to find a book that is not caught up in that never-ending cycle, but that instead focuses on helping us slow down and listen to our bodies and to our inner needs - and even our inner desires - in long-forgotten ways.

Even if you don't have an eating disorder, I would recommend this book. You might be surprised at the negative messages you carry around in your head. Also, I would FOR SURE recommend this book to moms - children need to be allowed to continue hearing their true hunger.



5 out of 5 stars Really Helped Me   November 10, 2009

I've this book for a couple months and I've been following the advice. I started slowly and am now really getting into the concept of eating what my body tells me to and not what my mind is screaming for. Yes, at first I went a bit wild, thinking my body was telling me it wanted the ice cream, well it wasn't. I know that now. It's possible to eat without obsessing over what you put in your mouth. And I don't over eat anymore. I feel better, I've lost a few pounds (I wasn't that overweight to begin with, but I'd seem my weight creeping up) and those urges I used to have are almost gone. This book has helped me a lot.

I am about 3/4 the way through the book and really love the whole concept and have begun with small steps. It is freedom finally from years of dieting and beating myself up for being "bad". Wish I had found the book sooner. My nutritionalist suggested it to me.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent book on binging and other eating disorders excess dieting etc.   November 9, 2009

This book was suggested to me by a senior clinician at the Eating Disorders Clinic Sheppard Pratt Health system when I asked him what was the best book to read on binging and eating disorders. I am still reading it but so far is it quite good. Since he has read just about every book on this subject this is quite a recommendation.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource   October 29, 2009

Great book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has been on the dieting wagon. It goes through how to respond to hunger and satiety cues and how to include foods you enjoy in your life without overeating. I really liked how they put the concept of "gentle nutrition" at the end, so that the reader can learn about hunger and satiety cues first. So important. Thanks for a great book!
