Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 The act of dieting promotes weight gain in a variety of age groups. The body’s attempt to survive the dieting process is to slow down your metabolism, destroy your muscle tissue, and become more hungry and preoccupied with food.#2 The war on obesity has created bigger health problems, as high-quality studies show that being at a lower weight does not confer better health or outcomes. The pursuit of weight loss, even in the name of health, perpetuates body-weight bias and stigma.#3 The diet mentality, which is based on the rules of dieting, creates a cognitive dissonance between what you are experiencing to be true and what you’re told to do. It erodes trust in your body, because the rules dictate your food choices regardless of how you feel.#4 Intuitive Eating is not a pass or fail process, but a learning experience. It’s important to understand that every eating experience you have, whether perceived as negative or positive, is an opportunity to learn about your body.
