Eat To Your Good Health

In this national bestseller based on Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health research, Dr. Willett explains why the USDA guidelines--the famous food pyramid--are not only wrong but also dangerous.

EAT to Your Good Health: Exchange Lists and Meal Planning for Eating Disorders offers an excellent resource for the development of healthy eating habits for those challenged by eating disorders. Rather than focusing on calories, dieting, or weight gain, author Amy E. Galena, RD, lays out guidelines that encourage readers to develop a positive relationship with food for life-long health. This guide provides - nutrition education and guidance tailored for the eating disorder population; - sample meal plans ranging from 1200 to 2200 calories per day; - unique food journals that emphasize the nutritional benefits of food while tracking the patient's feelings and behaviors toward food; - exchange lists that do not display calories or include any diet foods; - encouragement to help patients develop a positive relationship with food; - new insights on nutrition education for the eating disorder population; - tools to help registered dietitians educate their patients about the vital importance of food on health. "Amy has used her experience working with eating disordered clients to write EAT to Your Good Health. As a student at the University of North Florida and in her professional career, her passion has always been to help clients develop a positive relationship with food. This book provides nutrition education and eating plans specifically tailored for eating disorder clients, their families, and their dietitians." -Catherine Christie, PhD, RD, LD/N, FADA, Associate Dean, Brooks College of Health & Nutrition Graduate Program Director, University of North Florida "I have always admired Amy's enthusiasm for educating those who need nutrition education. This time it is an innovative way in teaching a difficult subject to people who are difficult to change their ways. I wish Amy luck in getting her message to those who need it most in order to save their health and ultimately their lives." -Simin Bolourchi-Vaghefi, PhD, CNS, LN, Professor Emeritus, Nutrition, Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, University of North Florida

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.

Yes, you are what you eat. For everyone who wonders why, in this era of advanced medicine, we still suffer so much serious illness, Food and Healing is essential reading. “An eminently practical, authoritative, and supportive guide to making everyday decisions about eating that can transform our lives. Food and Healing is a remarkable achievement.”—Richard Grossman, Director, The Health in Medicine Project, Montefiore Medical Center Annemarie Colbin, founder of New York's renowned Natural Gourmet Cookery School and author of The Book of Whole Meals, argues passionately that we must take responsibility for our own health and rely less on modern medicine, which still seems to focus on trying to cure rather than prevent illness. Eating well, she shows, is the first step toward better health. Drawing on an impressive range of thinking—from Eastern philosophy to current medical journals—Colbin shatters many myths not only about the “Standard American Diet” but also about some of the quirky and unhealthy food fads of recent years. What emerges is one of the first complete works on: • How food affects our moods • The healing qualities of specific foods • The role of diet in preventing illness • How to tailor a diet approach that is right for you “I recommend it to my patients. . . . It's an excellent book to help people understand the relationship between what they eat and how they feel.”—Stephen Rechtstaffen, M.D. Director, Omega Institute for Holistic Studies “Have a look at this important, well-thought-out book.”—Bon Appetit
