The Intuitive Eating Workbook: Ten Principles for Nourishing a Healthy Relationship with Food

Do you use food to comfort yourself during stressful times? Now fully revised and updated, The Intuitive Eating Workbook provides an evidence-based program to help you develop a healthy relationship with food, pay attention to cues of hunger and satisfaction, and cultivate a profound connection with your mind and body.

Have you tried fad diet after fad diet, only to gain weight back? Maybe you've tried the protein diet only to move on to vegetables only? Raw almonds and coconut water every forty-five minutes instead of big meals? Or perhaps you've tried counting calories, but the numbers on the scale still don't move. If diet culture and food restriction have made you feel like a failure, take heart. You can enjoy food again--you just need to pay attention to your body's natural hunger cues. Based on the authors' bestselling book, Intuitive Eating, this workbook can show you how.

This second edition of The Intuitive Eating Workbook provides new content on rejecting diet culture, shines a light on the connection between intuitive eating and social justice, and offers a new way of looking at food and mealtime that will change your life for the better. Structured around the ten principles of intuitive eating, the mindful approach in this workbook encourages you to abandon unhealthy weight control behaviors, pay attention your body's natural hunger signals, develop positive body image, and--most importantly--stop feeling distressed around food!

You were born with all the wisdom you need for eating intuitively. This book will help you reconnect with that wisdom and ultimately change your life--one meal at a time.
