All Dieters NEED this

Anyone who has ever struggled with dieting or has ever had trouble controlling the amount of food they eat or has ever suffered from an eating disorder must have this book. It is a life saver.

You will learn how to have a positive, healthy relationship with food again. You will stop binging, emotional eating and eating out of control. You will find that after reading this book, you will never need to diet again because you will be so in tune with your body that you will only eat the type and amount of food that it needs. Your body will naturally return to the weight it was meant to be... permanently. This book is the end of restricting food, starvation, binging, guilt and fluctuating weight.

I am a psychologist who has struggled with a binge eating disorder for years. I am now able to truely eat what I want, when I want without gaining weight or over eating. I will be using this program to treat patients who struggle with food.

Okay, but not the whole answer for some

While this book has some good information in it and is a good place for people with eating issues or weight problems, I agree with the reviewer who said that the book's theory does not account for our modern diet full of sugar and poor-quality foods. For many people, eating sugar or certain fatty or salty foods will trigger chemical reactions that biologically make you want to eat more and more. This makes the "eat whatever you want when you are hungry, stop when full" almost impossible for some people. After trying to follow this and gaining some weight (which the book says can happen before your body "normalizes") I woke up and realized that sugar and processed foods were not healthy for my body and doing me no good health-wise or weight-wise, so it was time to stop eating them as much as I possibly can. It is important to follow your natural hunger and fullness issues, but it is also important to follow a healthy diet and not just allow yourself to eat anything you want at all meals. Do you let your kids eat all the sugar they want? Of course not. So, I don't think it's wise to let yourself do the same. Being or feeling "deprived" (which they say diets make you feel) is not about eating healthfully, it's about depriving yourself of a healthy body and life. The book says that you will naturally start wanting a healthy diet when you are allowed to eat what you want, but chemically, I don't think this is the case with certain people. It's worth reading, but I liked The Slow Down Diet better, and I'm also reading Shrink Yourself, a book written by a psychologist for emotional eaters.

Intuitive Eater

I give five stars to this book for a few reasons. First, being a young adult involved in the fashion industry, it is not easy to find answers out there that make sense. Of all the literature I have read on nutrition, dieting, and weight control, I feel this one is well rounded. There are no severe restrictions, no two week diet plans, and no extreme measures with results that do not last. I would feel comfortable recommending this to a younger crowd- teenaged group, or to an older more experienced crowd.

Pressure from outside sources are enough stress- we do not need to add the additional pressure form oursleves. One of the most important facts about this book was that it showed me what is right for myself may not be right for other people, and that is okay. Being true to yourself is one of the best ways to feel better, regardless of judgement and criticism.

After years of struggling with body image and disordered eating, I am starting to feel better. I have been practicing intuitive eating for 4 months now, and through the stress of graduating college, I feel pretty good! I realize that eating, as in what you eat, how you feel (or don't) when you eat, and how you eat, all reflect a deeper look into yourself. In this healing process, I finally realize it is no longer about losing weight. The point is to feel better, happier, and have more esteem for yourself and your body. I can say that I enjoy ice cream to the max now! By removing the deprivation and guilt, we release the need to stuff our faces (and our emotions). Thank you.

the best way of life

This book is quickly becoming my "bible." Over the years, I went from a person without a weight problem to an obese person who often ate unconsciously, on autopilot, for emotional reasons, you name it. I've been on several diets as well, losing all the weight I wanted, only to regain all or most of it. Then I learned that the only thing diets ever really did for me was make me obsess about food.
I am already putting the principles into practice and feel empowered for the first time in a long time. It may be a long process for me to learn to eat in response to hunger, without judgment of myself, without silly, illogical rules, and most of all, with acceptance and peace with food and eating.
I recommend this book highly.

Excellent Book

This was well worth my money! After reading the first chapter I began to make changes. It all makes sense. The best part, after years of dieting and regaining the weight, I am losing weight without any effort. I no longer see food as the enemy. I'm grateful to have been introduced to this book and love the effect it had on me. I will certainly recommend it to others.

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 bodyWith 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.
