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.
5 Stars Lifestyle best
This book should be read by everyone who is making a “lifestyle” change- not doing a diet- diet means the food you eat – but the people that are struggling with weightloss only know diet as a harsh word- great book to get
5 Stars Read this when you’re done with dieting.
This book makes the case that diets don’t work – that they in fact create eating disorders and damage self-esteem. And the authors are right. When you’re done with struggling and failing with diet after diet, try this very different approach. It isn’t a quick fix, but it is a window or tool for finding a more sane way to approach food, eating, weight, and self-trust.
5 Stars If you read only one mindful-eating book…
I thought I’d read all the mindful-eating books, but somehow I missed this one. If you read only one of the many great books on the topic, read this one. Tribole and Resch explain the physiology and psychology of dieting in such a way, that suddenly, it’s a no-brainer why every waist watcher needs to say goodbye to dieting and hello to mindful eating. Even if you think you know it all, did you know that restrictve diets aren’t just a recipe for weight regain, they’re an invitation for your body to cannibilize itself. Literally! That’s just one of the many “ahas” you can expect from this page-turning classic. I am recommending this book to all my clients with eating issues.

3 Stars Intuitive Eating Can Be Confused with Rationalization Eating
I think that intuitive eating as the authors describe it is possible, but it has to be after have been guided properly by someone who has helped you to develop new taste and inclinations for certain foods. I think that intuitive eating happens after you have changed not during your change in what you crave. One must be careful in placing too much emphasis on the food aspect and not balance it equally with a focus on enough of the right kind of exercise, which in my experience has been progressive weight resistance.
Can one eat intuitively? Yes and no. Not without proper guidance of a nutritional overseer in addition to following the principles outlined in this book.
3 Stars for the chronic dieter
This book is for the chronic dieter. People that have a lot of guilt around the subject of food should read this book.
