Do you suffer from chronic overeating and have concerns about your weight?
Are you looking for a scientifically sound way of eating to prevent, even reverse, food-related chronic conditions, such as obesity, heart disease, depression and more?
Are you ready to treat the root causes of being overweight and pave the way to a happier and healthier relationship to food, eating, and weight?
This book is for you.
Holistic nutrition researcher Deborah Kesten, M.P.H., and behavioral scientist Larry Scherwitz, Ph.D., offer documented proof that it is possible to overcome overeating and being overweight by nourishing yourself multi-dimensionally each time you eat. Combining ancient food wisdom with groundbreaking modern science, Whole Person Integrative Eating empowers you to discover the reasons you overeat and gain weight - while offering the Whole Person Integrative Eating (WPIE) antidotes: physical, emotional, spiritual and social nourishment.
Through a powerful self-assessment quiz, you'll identify your overeating styles, then build a personalized plan to create a new, healthy way of eating. Plus, you'll discover 30 delicious recipes based on the Whole Person Integrative Eating program to jumpstart your optimal-eating efforts. Whole Person Integrative Eating is not a diet you will go on...and then off. It is a scientifically sound dietary lifestyle designed to be practiced for a lifetime. WPIE will inspire you to transform your relationship to food, eating, and weight by empowering you to discover true nourishment-physical, emotional, spiritual, and social-each time you eat...for life. |
