Eat!

If you are looking for a best-selling diet book, this is NOT it. . . . For over one hundred years, our culture has promoted dieting-with the goal of losing weight-as the acceptable way to eat. With this aim of weight loss, a diet's rules determine your eating choices and in turn create a thought system that prevents you from trusting your natural ability to make the right choices about eating. Our inner wisdom, or best self, quietly speaks to us through intuition, gut feelings, physical cravings, and feelings about the present moment, whereas beliefs focused on specific outcomes, such as weight loss-focused dieting, push their way to the forefront of our minds and block not only our enjoyment of food, but also our ability to fully experience our lives. Dr. Harper's "Eat!" is a simple solution to a troubled relationship with food. In "Eat! Rediscover Your Best Natural Relationship with Food," Linda Harper provides a five-step guide to help you access and trust your own inner wisdom. The purpose of this book is to create and enjoy eating experiences that reflect the life-enhancing relationship with food that you were meant to have. Leave weight loss-focused eating, and the "rules" of dieting, behind forever. Discover how to replace those misleading thoughts with insight that will guide you back to everyday eating choices that stem from your best self. You won't look back.
