Principles and Practice of Intuitive Eating

Emotional hunger is the inability to be oneself and, as a result, an attempt to dull sadness and stress with tasty food. But food cannot eliminate pain, anger, or sadness! Such habits can lead to the development of eating disorders.... Many of you have experienced the fear of eating in a public place or shame for having a late-night dinner in secret from loved ones? The authors, outstanding specialists in the field of nutrition and eating disorders, urge readers to start positively relating to their bodies and develop a new attitude towards their emotions — to forget everything they were taught about counting calories and other aspects of diet culture and learn about the harm of weight stigma. Intuitive eating is nothing more than a sensible and rational approach to food. The new edition is published under the editorship of Svetlana Bronnikova, the most authoritative Russian specialist in the field of nutrition and psychology.
