Normal Eating for Normal Weight: The Path to Freedom from Weight Obsession and Food Cravings

2009

Synopsis

Normal Eating is a uniquely effective step-by-step program to free people from compulsive urges and emotional eating. It draws from the Zen principle of mindfulness, 12-step wisdom on addiction, intuitive eating (the non-diet approach), cognitive psychology, and solid nutrition. Author Sheryl Canter analyzed the natural recovery process and broke it into stages, with each stage building on the last. The result is a gentle, step-by-step guide that greatly improves the odds of success. The book lays out the program in detail. An accompanying online support group lets you ask questions of the author, and apply the ideas to your own life.
