Dieting doesn't work. We all know it, yet for those overweight, we still try every new diet and fad that comes around. The vague hope that maybe THIS one will work galvanizes us to change our food intake or attempt drastic changes that are temporary, and worse, unhealthy. But what if there was a way that you could avoid the yo-yo, and finally lose the weight you want, with no struggle and no deprivation? What if you could make this weight loss style a lasting habit and benefit from increased health every day? You can... if you listen to your own body. Our bodies are miraculous things, they know what we really need and can heal themselves, if we let them. Your body already knows how much food to eat, what to eat and when, your brain just may need to be reminded. Intuitive eating brings your body back to a state of food awareness and food acceptance. Also known as Mindful eating, this method of trusting your own body is truly the bed way to lose weight and gain health. This easy to understand guide will walk you through the steps needed to listen to your body and begin your journey back to Intuitive eating today.

This book is an essential guide for those seeking to transform their relationship with food and lead a healthier, more fulfilling life. Mindful eating is a practice that encourages you to develop a more conscious and thoughtful approach to your eating habits. It's not just about what you eat, but how you eat. This book teaches you to be fully present in the experience of eating, paying attention to the sensations that arise during the process, from the taste and texture to the aroma of the food. One of the key aspects of mindful eating is learning to enjoy every bite. In our fast-paced society, we often eat quickly and mindlessly, without really savoring the food. This book invites you to take the time to slow down and appreciate each bite, profoundly improving your eating experience. Mindful eating teaches you to listen to your body's signals. We often ignore hunger and satiety signals, leading us to overeat or stop eating. This book helps you reconnect with your body's innate wisdom and recognize its signals, allowing you to make more informed decisions about when and how much to eat. In short, "Conscious Eating: Nourish Your Body, Heart, and Mind" has the power to transform your relationship with food, freeing you from unhealthy attitudes and encouraging a more mindful and healthy approach. If you're ready to embark on a journey toward a healthier, more fulfilling life, this book is the perfect guide for you.

With the wisdom of Intuitive Eating, a manifesto for parents to help them reject diet culture and raise the next generation to have a healthy relationship with food and their bodies. Kids are born intuitive eaters. Well-meaning parents, influenced by the diet culture that surrounds us all, are often concerned about how to best feed their children. Nearly everyone is talking about what to do about the childhood obesity epidemic. Meanwhile, every proposed solution for how to feed kids to promote health and prevent weight-related health concerns don’t mention the importance of one thing: a healthy relationship with food. The consequences can be disastrous and are indistinguishable from the predictable and well-researched impact that dieting has on adults. Weight cycling, low self-esteem, deviations from normal growth, and eating disorders are just some of the negative health effects children can experience from the fear-based approach to food and eating that has become the norm in our culture. Sumner Brooks and Amee Severson believe that parents want the best for their kids and know a parent’s job is to make them feel safe in the world and their bodies. They want them to grow up to be competent, healthy eaters, living their best lives in the bodies they were born to have. Intuitive Eating is more talked about than ever, and the time is now to make sure parents truly understand what it means to raise an intuitive eater. With a compassionate and relatable voice, How to Raise an Intuitive Eater is the only book of its kind to teach parents what they need to know to improve health, happiness, and wellbeing for the littlest among us.

Nourishing Dance: An Essential Guide on Nutrition, Body Image, and Eating Disorders is written with an insider’s understanding of the unique needs and pressures of the dance world and the expertise of an eating disorder specialist, dietitian, clinician, and educator. This much-needed resource provides research-based, practical approaches to help dancers fuel optimally, nourish a peaceful relationship with food, and nurture more positive and resilient body image. Under-fueling, body dissatisfaction, eating disorders, and disordered eating are far too common among dancers. Despite the prevalence of these issues in dancers across genres, and their negative impacts on dancers’ physical and mental health and performance, they have not been adequately addressed in the dance community. Improving dancers’ health and well-being is necessary for both dancers and the art form to thrive, and everyone involved in the training and care of dancers can play an important role in this mission. Nourishing Dance provides essential information on nutrition, body image, and eating disorder prevention to help parents, teachers, staff, choreographers, leadership, athletic trainers, coaches, and healthcare professionals contribute to making the dance world a healthier and safer place for dancers.

'Hegemonic nutrition' is produced and proliferated by a wide variety of social institutions such as mainstream nutrition science, clinical nutrition as well as those less classically linked such as life science/agro-food companies, the media, family, education, religion and the law. The collective result is an approach to and practice of nutrition that alleges not only one single, clear-cut and consented-upon set of rules for 'healthy eating,' but also tacit criteria for determining individual fault, usually some combination of lack of education, motivation, and unwillingness to comply. Offering a collection of critical, interdisciplinary replies and responses to the matter of 'hegemonic nutrition' this book presents contributions from a wide variety of perspectives; nutrition professionals and lay people, academics and activists, adults and youth, indigenous, Chicana/o, Latina/o, Environmentalist, Feminist and more. The critical commentary collectively asks for a different, more attentive, and more holistic practice of nutrition. Most importantly, this volume demonstrates how this 'new' nutrition is actually already being performed in small ways across the American continent. In doing so, the volume empowers diverse knowledges, histories, and practices of nutrition that have been marginalized, re-casts the objectives of dietary intervention, and most broadly, attempts to revolutionize the way that nutrition is done.
