About this ebook

Make peace with food.
Free yourself from chronic dieting forever.
Rediscover the pleasures of eating.

The go-to resource––now fully revised and updated––for building a healthy body image and making peace with food, once and for all.

When it was first published, Intuitive Eating was revolutionary in its anti-dieting approach. The authors, both prominent health professionals in the field of nutrition and eating disorders, urge readers to embrace the goal of developing body positivity and reconnecting with one’s internal wisdom about eating—to unlearn everything they were taught about calorie-counting and other aspects of diet culture and to learn about the harm of weight stigma. Today, their message is more relevant and pressing than ever. With this updated edition of the classic bestseller, Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch teach readers how to:

• Follow the ten principles of Intuitive Eating to achieve a new and trusting relationship with food
• Fight against diet culture and reject diet mentality forever
• Find satisfaction in their food choices
• Exercise kindness toward their feelings, their bodies, and themselves
• Prevent or heal the wounds of an eating disorder
• Respect their bodies and make peace with food—at any age, weight, or stage of development
• Follow body positive feeds for inspiration and validation

. . . and more easy-to-follow suggestions that can lead readers to integrate Intuitive Eating into their everyday lives and feel the freedom that comes with trusting their inner wisdom—for life.

Ratings and reviews

I come from a home where behaviours around food have been corrupted with generational trauma. This book has helped me so much and I was surprised to see they had been so thoughtful as to frame the book for all genders, all sizes, and have a disclaimer about their personal experiences within their own culture and experience. It really made me feel like I wasn't excluded as a reader just because I happen to belong to a few minority groups. <3 Its so much easier to digest when you know that there has been some modicum of awareness that the book will also work for you.

Reached the middle of the book and couldn't handle it anymore and deleted it. this book is so damn preachy it's unreal. keeps putting the blame on society, "fatphobia" and "diet culture". At some point it said to unfollow anybody on your social media who posts before and after pictures of their weight loss progress. ridiculous. This book has serious cult vibes. it tells you to reject everything you know about food and have faith in their method. don't get me wrong, there is some good advice here and there and some things make a lot of sense, but as i said it's so preachy it's unbearable. if you want to try intuitive eating, read another book on the subject.
