"Face Your Stuff, or Stuff Your
Face"
- Anonymous
Eating is a basic human need. But for those caught in cycles of
over-consumption, emotional eating, and yo-yo dieting, it can often be a
misguided stand-in for other unmet needs, like emotional fulfillment. When
we’ve reconnected to our actual nutritional needs, however, consumption
habits turn into choices, leading to greater personal freedom.
Combining expert dietary wisdom with the consciousness of Nonviolent
Communication (NVC), this handbook teaches you how to Eat by Choice,
Not by Habit by changing the way you see food and your food choices.
Rather than a proscriptive fad diet, readers learn to dig deeper to the
emotional consciousness that underlies our eating patterns. Find practical
strategies to break out of unhealthy eating cycles by becoming aware of
your real needs in the moment. Learn to enjoy the tastes, smells and
sensations of healthful eating once again.
