Okay, but not the whole answer for some September 9, 2008

While this book has some good information in it and is a good place for people with eating issues or weight problems, I agree with the reviewer who said that the book's theory does not account for our modern diet full of sugar and poor-quality foods. For many people, eating sugar or certain fatty or salty foods will trigger chemical reactions that biologically make you want to eat more and more. This makes the "eat whatever you want when you are hungry, stop when full" almost impossible for some people. After trying to follow this and gaining some weight (which the book says can happen before your body "normalizes") I woke up and realized that sugar and processed foods were not healthy for my body and doing me no good health-wise or weight-wise, so it was time to stop eating them as much as I possibly can. It is important to follow your natural hunger and fullness issues, but it is also important to follow a healthy diet and not just allow yourself to eat anything you want at all meals. Do you let your kids eat all the sugar they want? Of course not. So, I don't think it's wise to let yourself do the same. Being or feeling "deprived" (which they say diets make you feel) is not about eating healthfully, it's about depriving yourself of a healthy body and life. The book says that you will naturally start wanting a healthy diet when you are allowed to eat what you want, but chemically, I don't think this is the case with certain people. It's worth reading, but I liked The Slow Down Diet better, and I'm also reading Shrink Yourself, a book written by a psychologist for emotional eaters.

This was well worth my money! After reading the first chapter I began to make changes. It all makes sense. The best part, after years of dieting and regaining the weight, I am losing weight without any effort. I no longer see food as the enemy. I'm grateful to have been introduced to this book and love the effect it had on me. I will certainly recommend it to others.

I give five stars to this book for a few reasons. First, being a young adult involved in the fashion industry, it is not easy to find answers out there that make sense. Of all the literature I have read on nutrition, dieting, and weight control, I feel this one is well rounded. There are no severe restrictions, no two week diet plans, and no extreme measures with results that do not last. I would feel comfortable recommending this to a younger crowd- teenaged group, or to an older more experienced crowd. br /br /Pressure from outside sources are enough stress- we do not need to add the additional pressure form oursleves. One of the most important facts about this book was that it showed me what is right for myself may not be right for other people, and that is okay. Being true to yourself is one of the best ways to feel better, regardless of judgement and criticism. br /br /After years of struggling with body image and disordered eating, I am starting to feel better. I have been practicing intuitive eating for 4 months now, and through the stress of graduating college, I feel pretty good! I realize that eating, as in what you eat, how you feel (or don't) when you eat, and how you eat, all reflect a deeper look into yourself. In this healing process, I finally realize it is no longer about losing weight. The point is to feel better, happier, and have more esteem for yourself and your body. I can say that I enjoy ice cream to the max now! By removing the deprivation and guilt, we release the need to stuff our faces (and our emotions). Thank you.
