Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program that Works by Evelyn Tribole

Description

“Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program that Works” by Evelyn Tribole is a groundbreaking book that challenges traditional dieting approaches and offers a new paradigm for achieving a healthy relationship with food and body image. Published in 1995 and updated subsequently, this book introduces readers to the concept of intuitive eating, which emphasizes tuning into the body’s natural hunger and fullness cues, rather than following rigid diets or food rules.

Evelyn Tribole, a registered dietitian and nutrition therapist, co-authored this book with Elyse Resch, also a registered dietitian. Drawing on their extensive experience working with clients struggling with disordered eating patterns, Tribole and Resch outline ten principles of intuitive eating, which include rejecting the diet mentality, honoring hunger and fullness, making peace with food, and coping with emotions without using food.

“Intuitive Eating” encourages readers to trust their bodies’ signals, cultivate self-compassion, and embrace a non-restrictive approach to eating that prioritizes pleasure and satisfaction. The book offers practical strategies and exercises to help readers reconnect with their innate hunger and fullness cues, overcome emotional eating, and develop a more positive and sustainable relationship with food.

With its empowering message and evidence-based approach, “Intuitive Eating” has become a seminal work in the fields of nutrition and health, inspiring countless individuals to break free from the cycle of dieting and embrace a more balanced and joyful approach to eating and self-care. Whether you’re struggling with chronic dieting, disordered eating, or simply seeking a healthier and more fulfilling relationship with food, this book offers valuable insights and guidance on the journey toward intuitive eating and body acceptance.
