The Psychologist's Eat-Anything Diet

This method really works. It's helpful to work with a counselor while reading the book, though. Find one who uses a non-dieting and/or intuitive eating approach and who knows about and recommends this book. I dieted for 40 years and always gained the weight back. I also used to starve during the week and binge on the weekends and always felt horrible. Since working on my eating disorder using this amazing method, I no longer binge, I can eat whatever I want and I feel great. Be aware, though, that when you start you may gain some weight because you're eating a backlog of foods you haven't allowed yourself to eat for years. I overate on these foods, but have now relaxed about them. My weight has fluctuated while working on this, but will eventually completely even out and I will lose permanent weight. My therapist used this book 30 years ago and is a thin woman without any food issues. She eats whatever shes wants and has the lowest cholesterol and blood pressure she's ever had. This book and my therapist say the basics of this method is that when you deprive yourself certain foods you'll binge on them and feel like a failure for not being able to resist them. Right now my cupboards and fridge are stocked with chocolate and chips and ice cream and they usually go bad and I have to throw them away. It's because I've taken the taboo away from them. Another beware: it takes time to work through an eating disorder. I've been working with my therapist for 6 months and it may take another 6 months, but my dieting yo-yo life is over, my binge eating is over and I feel great. The roller coaster ride is over and I'm much calmer than I've ever been. What happened is I'm becoming less and less obssessed with food and will one day be a "normal" eater who eats whatever I want whenever I'm hungry and will never lose my love for food. I highly recommend this for anyone struggling with their weight and dieting and bingeing.

It is GREAT to see this back in print--i've looked high and wide, and was unable to replace the copy i had donated to a library years ago.....until Amazon!The idea is simple: by removing the "forbidden" label from food, EVERYTHING is available--so one "can" eat without guilt. After a bit of this, one finds that healthy foods "call" out, and the ones that are not especially good FOR you have lost their appeal.That is the contention of this book.I agree.Try it.

This book is for the yo-yo dieters who have lost and gained weight their entire lives and want to get off the merry-go-round, enjoy life and be thin. This book should be read every few weeks until it sinks in , it will take a while but once it sinks in, it is for a new lifetime of joyful eating and non-obsession of food when going out or on vacations or just daily living. Highly recommend.

PRACTICAL self help working through the diet-self-sabotage maze.

Excellent resource for clinicians and their clients.

Great

best book ever on food, dieting,& disordered eating. This book saved my life.

A chubby, face-stuffing child, I read this book in the 1970s and its wisdom keeps coming back to me when I start to eat compulsively again. Unlike diet books that imply or demand some sort of deprivation, and those that insidiously promote self-loathing, this book gives us a way to use our body's wisdom, with an attitude of gentle kindness toward ourselves, when choosing what to stick into our mouths. It seems so simple once you get it, but most of us are so over-exposed to foods that beckon and seduce us, and are programmed to eat based on some very unhelpful stimuli. When I later took classes in mindfulness, I saw that this book is based on similar principals, which are so rock-solid, they're really all most people need to form healthier eating habits.

I have found this book really fascinating and very useful. I didn't realise how much I ate at mealtimes even if I wasn't hungry. Very useful for understanding some of the reasons why people eat.

This is one book I'm pleased I have

good service and fast shippment, everythiing ok, the book is very good i recommend it to anybody that wants to have a very different aproach .
