Make Peace with Food: How to Forget Diets and Transition to Intuitive Eating

Before eating an orange, you consider how much sugar it contains. You swear to yourself not to eat sweets, salty, and fried food «starting Monday» and avoid meeting friends if the menu only includes pizza. You alternate intermittent fasting with... a low-carb diet, and the paleo diet with raw food. Practicing nutritionist Elizabeth Gilman is convinced that you are not alone: instead of bringing health and slenderness, diets take away the joy of life from millions of people. She believes that the key to getting rid of suffering is the principle of intuitive eating, based on the ability to listen to the body's signals of hunger and fullness. This book is about how wonderful it is to live in a world where food is just food, not an enemy, a cult, a trial, or a punishment. It will help you stop overeating, do without dietary templates and restrictions, find a balance between healthy and free eating, and allow yourself to eat without guilt and anxiety.
