I've read an insane amount of books with this same type of theme and some blend into the pile while occasionally I find one that stands out in an amazing way. I can't quite pinpoint exactly what it is about it that makes it stand out, maybe I just read it at the right time of my life or something but it had a significant effect on my mindfulness with not only my relationship with food but a lot of other aspects of my day to day life.The book is written in such an extremely simple way, which can sometimes trigger part of your brain to tell you you don't need the information, but I pushed that little voice aside whenever it popped up and was rewarded with full body and mind "aha's" and "I knew it!"'s over and over.If you are the type of person that "doesn't believe in diets" but still haven't found a way to be happy with your body, OR struggle with yo-yo dieting in any way at all THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU!It's a quick read and presents an unarguable truth that your body will LOVE and your mind will most likely refuse due to the simplicity of the facts presented, but I promise it actually works!! Before I had even finished the book and was only taking the small step of acknowledging any feelings in my body before eating, nothing more. And instantly I noticed my eating habits change DRASTICALLY! I did not do one other thing, no meal planning, no restricting in any way, I just mentally acknowledged and put a name to any emotions or sensations present in my body before I ate anything and I didn't try to change anything else. If I was sitting at my desk at work and reached for a candy bar I would sit down and while unwrapping it I would mentally say "I am feeling _________ in _________ part of my body and it's OK to feel ___________ right now." (ie. I am feeling incredible stress in my stomach right now and it's OK to feel this stress right now). But this funny thing started to happen... I would stop eating in the middle of my meals and snacks because I was full without even noticing I had stopped. I CANNOT tell you the last time I didn't finish my plate completely. I always eat everything I'm served. But when I started letting myself feel the feeling I was trying to eat in such a simple and non-resistive way, my appetite suddenly balanced to what my body actually needed.Becoming mindful in this EXTREMELY simple way will change your life.
I am a physician, who myself suffers with Binge Eating Disorder. I am trained in nutrition and metabolism and have given and received extensive counseling myself. It has been a long journey over the span of many years. I read this book several years back to assimilate all schools of thought. The truth is- this book can cause SERIOUS damage to a person with Binge Eating disorder which is a true addiction, just like alcoholism. Yet Ms. Roth attempts to convince you that your problem is purely lack of self awareness and self control which she claims to fix with her "guidelines". These "guidelines" that Ms. Roth preaches, basically instruct you to do exactly what you are NOT EQUIPPED to do- to instinctively know "what your body wants, how much, and when". Ms Roth-How about helping explain to people what their body NEEDS and instead of telling them to simply eat until they are satisfied, help explain appropriate portions. People with binge eating, by default, do not feel satisfied and by default they DON't pay attention when they are binging. She admits and tells you that you will GAIN WEIGHT following her guidelines, but she promises you will plateau THEN begin to lose weight as you MASTER her plan, which is not possible for an average person living a normal daily existence, not isolated to a bubble of spiritual/meditation where she expects you to basically DRIFT your way to thinness. Yes, thats right-just float your way there. This is serious stuff, Ms. Roth, do not undermine people's confidence by giving them non sensible goals which they can not attain. Take responsbility for what you are saying to people and clarify your credentials! You should be held liable.
Although I am at a healthy weight, I have a long history of disordered eating beginning at about age 13. It was worse in my twenties with extreme binges and purging, but has now kind of mellowed out in my 30's and 40's to a general overeating/occasional mini-binge. I got past the bulimia by reading Overcoming Overeating at the age of 22 and then The Fat Fairy Godmother's Guide How to Eat it All and be Thin Forever by Glinda West and Think Yourself Thin by Debbie Johnson at 24/25. I did gain weight this way, but I wasn't obsessing, which was great.The weight gain reversed when I stopped trying to do the intuitive eating and allowing myself to eat junk food daily. Processed food just triggers me to binge on a biological level. I don't think it's always emotional. That being said, I have realized lately that a lot of my emotions instantly translate in to a physical sensation of hunger. I transitioned to a mostly plant-based and low processed foods way of eating a couple of years ago after watching Forks Over Knives and reading Proteinaholic by Dr. Garth Davis, and have really been feeling great for the most part. As long as I avoid extremes and all or nothing thinking, I manage to maintain fairly normal eating patterns and weight. However, I still get thrown off course from time to time, which is what led me to Geneen Roth's book.This is one of the best books I have read on how to feel your feelings. The description of inquiry and feeling the physical sensations of emotions has helped me immensely. I love the author's insights. Intuitive eating and her guidelines do not work for me, however. I end up thinking too much about food and going back and forth with restrictive/permissive thoughts that invariably cause me to binge. I found Gillian Riley's Eating Less to be more helpful with a way to get out of the overeating cycle. The concept of "addictive desire" and her "times and plans" method is freeing. I highly recommend reading it as well.A third book I have found to be helpful is Robert Gould's Shrink Yourself. (He refers to The Voice as "Harriet" or "Harry".) If Women Food and God is the spiritual, Eating Less would be the physical and Shrink Yourself is the mental. Find a way to synthesize the information (sometimes conflicting) in all three in a way that works for you. This is what I am basically doing right now.
