Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch

Okay, this is a pretty amazing book. It reminds me of Eating Awareness Training, only expanded and explained and backed up by research studies and years of clinical experience by its two authors.

Tribole and Resch outline 10 principles of Intuitive Eating that, if followed, promise to free a person of all his/her harmful ideas about food, diet, body-image...big promises!

Intuitive Eating is easy to read and well organized. It has a good balance of information, statistics and tales from the clinic. It is not a diet or a menu plan or even a guide to healthy food. It's a set of principles designed to help a reader depart from the manic diet/body culture that pervades our society.

Of course, not all good ideas can be applied generally, but I loved the book and highly recommend it.
