This Book Is Empowering
What I really appreciate about this book is the honesty of the authors. This book does not tell me, unlike many other diet books, that this is going to be a quick and an easy way to lose weight. Rather, it allows me to become well aware that the battle to "detoxicate" myself from all the diets my body has undergone will be a long one. At the same time, it gives me empowerment to stop being submerged into the 'diet' mentality and move on to eating intuitively. I would recommend this book to all those struggling with useless dieting, and all those who simply want to improve their eating style to a more healthy and a more natural one.

Life-changing, healing book
This book has been completely life-changing for myself, my mother and my sister. When read (and re-read) and practiced, the principals in this book offer freedom from food obsession, and a chance to recapture the natural, free, and enjoyable relationship to food that most of us had as children. Once you realize that diets are hopeless as a long-term solution to weight issues, and you're ready to make peace with eating, this book is your way there. I am eating WAY less than I have in years, with a consistency and comfort level that is impossible with dieting.

One of the most important books I've ever read!
I didn't buy this book because I wanted to lose weight. I am an athlete who is at an ideal weight, but I was so strict with my eating that I had become obsessed with food. Daily weighing along with counting calories, protien, and carbs consumed a good portion of my days. The need to eat so perfectly inevitably led to uncontrollable binges about once a week. I bought this book because I wanted to lead a more normal life, where food didn't consume my thoughts and define the success or failure of a day. The principles in the book are completely logical and the authors are good to back up their theories with plenty of empirical data. They clearly lay out why it is so crucial to abandon the diet mentality in order to stabilize or lose weight. I now know that no food is off limits anymore and I am becoming more in tune to what my body is telling me it needs. No more binging, weighing or number crunching. Freedom at last! Similar Products
