"Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program That Works" by Evelyn Tribole, M.S.,R.D. and Elyse Resch, M.S.,R.D.,F.A.D.A


We've all been there-angry with ourselves for overeating, for our lack of willpower, for failing at yet another diet that was supposed to be the last one. But the problem is not you. It's that dieting, with its emphasis on rules and regulations, has stopped you from listening to your body. Written by two prominent nutritionists, Intuitive Eating focuses on nurturing your body rather than starving it, encourages natural weight loss, and helps you find the weight you were meant to be.


"The How of Happiness: A New Approach to Getting the Life You Want" by Sonja Lyubomirsky


The How of Happiness is a comprehensive guide to understanding the elements of happiness based on years of groundbreaking scientific research. It is also a practical, empowering, and easy-to-follow workbook, incorporating happiness strategies, exercises in new ways of thinking, and quizzes for understanding our individuality, all in an effort to help us realize our innate potential for joy and ways to sustain it in our lives.


"Health at EVERY Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight" by Linda Bacon, PhD


Tune in to your body's expert guidance. Find the joy in movement. Eat what you want, when you want, choosing pleasurable foods that help you to feel good. You too can feel great in your body right now-and Health at Every Size will show you how.
Health at Every Size has been scientifically proven to boost health and self-esteem. The program was evaluated in a government-funded academic study, its data has been published in well-respected scientific journals.

Health at Every Size is NOT a diet book. Read it and you will be convinced the best way to win the war against fat is to give up the fight.


"When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies: Freeing Yourself from Food and Weight Obsession" by Jane R. Hirschmann and Carol H. Munter

In this revolutionary new book, bestselling authors Carol Munter and Jane Hirschmann explore the myriad reasons why women cling to diets despite overshelming evidence that diets don't work. In fact, diets turn us into compulsive eaters, obsessed with food and weight.
Munter and Hirschmann call this syndrome "Bad Body Fever" and demonstrate how "bad body thoughts" are clues to our emotional lives. They explore the difficulties women encounter replacing dieting with demand feeding. And finally, they teach us how to think about our problems rather than eat about them-so that food can resume its proper place in our lives.
