Lose Weight and Maintain With Easy, Fun Intuitive Eating

How to Have Your Cake and Your Skinny Jeans Too: Stop Binge Eating, Overeating and Dieting For Good Get the Naturally Thin Body You Crave From the Inside Out (Binge Eating Solution) by Josie Spinardi is an incredibly accessibly written book with clear practical strategies and sound evidence-based approaches.

Concept:

Your body is programmed to maintain a naturally thin weight. You don’t need to know your ideal weight or calorie balance. More calorically dense foods and slower metabolism just means you get full sooner and stay full longer.

Diets only address the symptom of extra weight. “Overeating or binge eating is in fact a very powerfully anchored conditioned (learned) response to both dieting (food restriction) and a shortage of skills to navigate certain distressing emotional states.”

Most dieters get stuck in “The Dieting Trangle of Despair,” a cycle of dieting, bingeing, beating self up, and then dieting again… only to binge again all over in more and more extreme ways. Studies like the Ancel Keys show “dieting leads to food obsession, emotional distress, and – wait for it – binge eating.”
