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 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.

Dieting doesn't work. We all know it, yet for those overweight, we still try every new diet and fad that comes around. The vague hope that maybe THIS one will work galvanizes us to change our food intake or attempt drastic changes that are temporary, and worse, unhealthy. But what if there was a way that you could avoid the yo-yo, and finally lose the weight you want, with no struggle and no deprivation? What if you could make this weight loss style a lasting habit and benefit from increased health every day? You can... if you listen to your own body. Our bodies are miraculous things, they know what we really need and can heal themselves, if we let them. Your body already knows how much food to eat, what to eat and when, your brain just may need to be reminded. Intuitive eating brings your body back to a state of food awareness and food acceptance. Also known as Mindful eating, this method of trusting your own body is truly the bed way to lose weight and gain health. This easy to understand guide will walk you through the steps needed to listen to your body and begin your journey back to Intuitive eating today.

Common sense tells us that to lose weight, we must eat less and exercise more. But somehow we get stalled. We start on a weight loss program with good intentions but we cannot stay on track. Neither the countless numbers of fad diets, nor the annual spending of $50 billion on weight loss efforts are helping us feel better or lose weight. With Mindful Eating, world-renowned Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh and Harvard nutritionist Dr. Lilian Cheung join together to show us how to end our struggles with weight once and for all.
