INTUITIVE EATING
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.

In a startling new revelation, American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee has admitted to a five-year long battle with bulimia...In her cover story, Katharine, 22, admits to having suffered from the eating disorder since she was 17, saying, "I was a binge-and-purger. It always starts off with a diet. The more I dieted, the more I became obsessed with food. Food was like a drug to me...It was such a miserable life."
While Katharine had seen a string of medical professionals over the years to try and lose weight, it was only after she nailed her Idol audition that she began to deal with her eating disorder. She entered a three-month eating-disorder program, where she read the book INTUITIVE EATING: A Revolutionary Program That Works by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch. "I was actually addressing the issue, not trying to lose weight,” she tells TEEN PEOPLE. "I was letting my body do what it naturally wanted to do by eating normally....I'm really starting to embrace my curves." Katharine, 5’8”, was 165 pounds at her heaviest; she now weighs in at 135 pounds. (From Teen People)
