Description



About the Book



For the tens of millions living with diabetes, weight loss is the most commonly prescribed method of treatment. However, evidence now shows that weight-focused approaches can often result in negative health effects for diabetes patients. This groundbreaking guide brings the principles of intuitive eating--a proven-effective, anti-diet approach to nutrition and health--to the management of diabetes, so readers can develop a nourishing relationship with food, and find healthy and compassionate alternatives for managing their condition.



Book Synopsis



A revolutionary, anti-diet approach to whole-body health. Tune into your body's natural intuition and get the upper hand on your diabetes!

Are you one of the millions dealing with diabetes? If so, you're probably all too familiar with the medical establishment badgering you to lose weight. But did you know evidence now shows that approaches focusing solely on weight loss are at best unhelpful and at worst, harmful? These popular weight-based strategies have been found to increase food and body obsession, weight-cycling, low self-esteem, and disordered eating, to name a few. If you're tired of weight-focused methods that leave you feeling miserable, maybe it's time for a new, revolutionary approach to whole-body health that's rooted in self-compassion.

This groundbreaking guide outlines the principles of Intuitive Eating--an effective, evidence-based, anti-diet approach to nutrition--to help you manage your blood sugar levels without restriction. You'll learn about the root causes of diabetes, how to listen to your body for natural cues of hunger and fullness, and how to develop a more nourishing (and sustainable) relationship with food. You'll also discover why dieting doesn't work, and finally break free from the cycle of shame, self-blame, and more weight gain.

If you're ready to let go of the mainstream diet-culture idea that weight loss alone is essential to managing blood sugar, it's time to embrace the science and effectiveness of intuitive eating.
