MY REVIEW: The title "Healthy Eating for Life: An Intuitive Eating Workbook to Stop Dieting Forever" is intriguing--what is "intuitive eating"? Author Cara Harbstreet, a registered dietician and nutrition expert, explains intuitive eating as
an individualized, introspective process where you become curious and investigate your own eating habits. Why do you eat what you eat? If you feel miserable when you follow a regimented diet, and you are not enjoying your food, and you are not meeting with success, then it's time to make positive, personalized changes in your lifestyle. This a workbook, not a cookbook, and there are no recipes. However, you will find sensible suggestions, well-thought-out written exercises, and enthusiastic encouragement that lets you know that it's okay to follow your own intuition. Author Cara Harbstreet writes in a warm and friendly conversational manner--so important for reinforcing much-needed psychological support.
