Eat mindfully and with intention for a healthier you!
This is an easy read and very interesting book. May breaks down the destructive eating cycles that cause us to over eat or make the wrong choices. She successfully takes the emotion out of it and puts you in charge of yourself! If you feel victimized by restricting you’re eating, failing, and suffering the regret of “if I only didn’t.”… Then this is the book for you.

For as long as I can remember, I have obsessed about calories, points, fat grams, exercise - you name it. It has gotten to the point of ridiculousness, and I have literally felt like I was drowning. This book was like an answer to a prayer for me - and I honestly can say I feel like I have been freed from the diet prison. When you take away the whole concept of forbidden food, you remove power food has over you, and empower yourself over food. The meat of this concept is in the first 2 chapters

I didn't fully read, but skimmed this book. I saw enough to know I like what the author has to say. I found it problematic that the author did not appear to mention "Health at Every Size." Perhaps this is because she seems somewhat still concerned about weight, and using her method as a way to encourage weight loss.
She presents her method as self-discovered, yet all her messages were just like those as presented in "Health at Every Size." (I read that one just More...

I found this book on an email generated by Amazon.com that recommended some texts that I might have an interest in. This book exceeded my expectations. Just about 400 pages of the whole process of restructuring your thoughts about health and wellness. I LOVED the graphs and pictures in the book. They helped me to understand the message that Dr. May was trying to get across. The WRITE-YOUR-OWN-RECIPE salad bar spreadsheet was outstanding and you can find it on page 358. I found myself pouring ove

I love food but it hasn't always loved me back. When I turned forty my metabolism packed up and moved south, along with several other parts of my anatomy. When the numbers on the weight scale started to climb, I panicked. I bought into every fad diet out there, never succeeding my goal to lose and keep off those extra unwanted pounds and inches. However, after reading Dr. May's book my eating habits have drastically changed.

In January 2009, 3 friends and I formed a group to tackle the "real" reasons why we weren't losing weight. We experienced a great year of deep discussions that covered psychological, emotional, and spiritual reasons that our lives were out of balance as well as exchanged tips and tricks of the diet world.

I've read a lot of books about intuitive eating in the past year, but somehow, this one expressed the whole thing better than the others have, made it all make sense and click into place in a way the others didn't. It's very practical and sensible, which made it all seem doable. It was a wee bit too long/repetitive, otherwise it probably would have received the 5-star treatment. Still recommended.

I am a big fan of May's work and use AIM-hi (Americans in Motion) materials with clients regularly. (May was a contributor to AIM) initiative). I may have had too high expectations for this book. It is still a good resource for useful, research-based healthy eating information, covers the principles of intuitive eating and easy to understand.

I purchased this book at Half Price books for $ 7.98. I did not know that $7.98 could change my life. I read the book in less than 48 hours and am reading it again to soak up all the information possible. If you have ever dieted, been on a diet, needed to lose weight, felt like crap for eating "bad food" - this book is for you.

This is a mindfulness based approach on dieting and fitness (intended as keeping your body in a fit shape) that uses some cognitivist and behavioural approach on eating and gives you many information either on food and on body. It helps people to understand the thin bounduary between being hungry of food or starving for emotions and it leads you to a mindful eating.

I really enjoyed this book - it's not necessarily new information but it's definitely something I think a lot of people should read and know. This is not a diet book - it will not tell you how much of whatever to necessarily eat or do or not eat or do. It's about relearning how to eat instinctively and to not feel guilty about your decisions. I'd definitely recommend it.

I really enjoyed the first few chapters of this book. While it seems to target the obese and I do not consider myself in that category, I thought the basic principals were sounds and helped me look at food in a new way. However toward the end of the book, it felt so redundant. I kept asking myself, "Haven't I already ready this 3 or 4 tomes in a different chapter?"
Overall, a good recommendation though.
