This readable, entertaining, and light-hearted book by Ellyn Satter,
based on solid scientific evidence, will transform your life. In writing
about eating, feeding, and cooking, Satter also writes about emotional
health and positive family relationships. Satter encourages you to
celebrate eating. Eating is okay. Eating enough is okay. Enjoying
eating is okay. Eating what you like--and discovering the joy of
cooking--is okay. Raising your child to do the same thing is more than
okay, it is brilliant! How can this be? Won't taking off the brakes on
eating and weight make you eat way too much and gain a lot of weight?
Based on her research and experience with Eating Competence and the
Satter Division of Responsibility in Feeding, Satter says no. On the
contrary, discovering the joy of eating--becoming eating competent--lets
you connect with your inner self that knows how to eat.
