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. 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, this book 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 the 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 achieve a new and safe relationship with food and, ultimately, your body. Also includes a chapter on how this philosophy can be a safe and effective model on the path to recovery from an eating disorder.--From publisher description.
