A non-diet approach to nourishing your body? I am in.
I loved the format of this book - it is set up in two parts:
1. The Principles
- Intuitive Eating/Why Diets don't work
- Gentle Nutrition/Redefining Health
- Lasting changes/Eating to Satisfy
2. The Recipes!
We have made several of the recipes and they are fabulous.
This year, I'm really taking an additive approach to eating and making sure "the gangs all here".
It has helped me feel fuller, satisfied and not restricted.
I plan on purchasing this book for future reference/reminders!
Favorite Element of the book:
The illustrations really bring a joyfulness to the already exquisite content!
Best Take Away:
Listen to your body, move for the joy of it and love yourself enough to fuel in ways that work for you!! 💗

The first half of this book is all about implementing the principles of Intuitive Eating, most specifically gentle nutrition. While I loved reading Intuitive Eating and gained a lot from it, I feel like this book helped me mentally fit together the pieces of the puzzle for nutrition better than IE did.
The second half of the book contains 50+ recipes. Most of them are too fussy and labor-intensive for me to want to try at my current stage of life where things are extremely busy and I have two small children who are often underfoot and need a lot of attention when I am trying to make meals. However, everything looked delicious and there were about half a dozen that looked intriguing and potentially doable for me right now.

There were a few concepts that the author brought up that have been debunked, like the set point theory, that made me more skeptical of this book than I normally would be, but as a simple and kind-hearted summary of the intuitive eating principles it does work.
