Diets aren't sustainable over the long-term, but so many of us don't
know how to eat without food rules to follow. By exploring the many
reasons dieting keeps us stuck in an unfulfilling relationship with
food--from misguided beliefs about weight and health to social bonding
to emotional management--you can finally call off the search for the
Secret (hot take: there isn't one) and learn how to eat according to the
wisdom of your body.
In her new book Enjoy It All: Improve Your Health and Happiness with
Intuitive Eating, Sarah Berneche delivers a step-by-step process for
healing your relationship with food and your body image. While nutrition
recommendations frequently pepper the pages of magazines and newspapers
across the country, we're left increasingly confused about food and
disconnected from our bodies. Sarah teaches you that enjoying food and
embracing the pursuit of pleasure can liberate you from diet culture for
good while improving your health and sense of well-being. Imagine...
- Feeling in control of your food choices--whether that means saying yes
to double cheese pizza because it looks so good or no to the chocolate
chip cookie because it doesn't
- Trusting food and your body enough to smash your scale, delete your
calorie counting app, opt-out of your exhausting gym routine, and ditch
the extensive Sunday meal prep
- Keeping previously off-limits foods, like ice cream and candy, in your
house...and eating them in a calm, kind way
- Having the freedom to enjoy pasta, pizza, and pie without a side of
guilt or shame
- Understanding how all foods can fit into a healthy diet, and how to
make necessary restrictions (such as for medical or religious reasons) a
little more enjoyable
Enjoy It All expands upon the following key points:
- The reasons we diet and keep dieting--even when we know diets don't
work
- What's really underneath our never-ending quest for the perfect body
- How our preoccupation with "good" and "bad" foods keeps us from food
freedom
- The value of habits and behaviors rooted in self-care vs.
self-control
- How pleasure isn't antithetical to health--it's intrinsic to it
Enjoy It All also features journaling and mantra exercises; an array
of delicious recipes for breakfasts, mains, vegetable sides, and snacks;
and a step-by-step process to support your health without dieting. We've
been conditioned to believe we need to abide by external rules to be
healthy. But what if everything you need to know is already within you?
Take ownership and improve your health, happiness, and sense of
well-being--all without rules or restriction!
