Reconcile with Food. How to Forget Diets and Switch to Intuitive Eating

Before eating an orange, you consider how much sugar it contains. You swear to yourself that you won't eat sweets, salty or fried foods "starting Monday" and avoid meeting friends if the only option on the menu is pizza. You... alternate intermittent fasting with a low-carb diet, and the paleo diet with raw foodism. Practicing nutritionist Elizabeth Gilman is convinced that you are not alone: instead of bringing health and slimness, diets take away the joy of life from millions of people. She believes that the key to ending this suffering is the principle of intuitive eating, which is 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 balance between healthy and free eating, and allow yourself to eat without guilt and anxiety.
