Make Peace with Food. How to Forget About Diets and Switch to Intuitive Eating

Before you eat an orange, you estimate how much sugar is in it. You swear to yourself not to eat sweets, salty, or fried things “starting from Monday,” and you avoid meeting friends if the menu has only pizza. You alternate intermittent fasting with a low-carb diet, and paleo with raw foodism. Practicing nutritionist Elizaveta Gilman believes you’re not alone: instead of bringing health and slimness, diets steal joy from life from millions of people. She thinks the key to giving up suffering is the principle of intuitive eating, which is based on the ability to listen to your body’s signals about hunger and fullness. The author will tell you how wonderful it is to live in a world where food is simply food—not an enemy, a cult, a test, or a punishment. She will help you stop overeating, do without diet templates and restrictions, find balance between healthy and free eating, and allow yourself to eat without guilt or anxiety.
