And the new diet book review will be on this find from 2006.
There are lots of good parts if you can get around the overall triteness & bad relationship stuff. That part comes off real bullshitty and rather like a blatant narc.
It is full of some pretty sound nutritional advice, but some things we now question- low fat dairy & seed oils.
The basic principles are to eat often, with low fat, balanced meals, nothing is off limits, stop eating at the first sign of not being hungry anymore, and home cooking.
Balanced meals is: a low fat protein, starchy carb, vegetable option (or 2) and a salad starter. 3 fruits a day for snacks and desserts. Drink lots of water. So nothing groundbreaking there.
I think the best thing about it is getting off the diet Rollercoaster. If you aren't on a "diet," you can't go off a diet. Which is good, imo.
It does talk about how our bodies are designed to want to continue eating even when we aren't hungry anymore. It sees food and it wants to eat food, just because it is in front of you. Evolutionary biology.
My studies in behavioral neuroscience agreed with these statements. The body sends out signals to eat whenever food is present.
What, you thought it was chance that there is a specialty bakery or crumbl cookie by every damn boutique fitness joint? You thought that the pizza joint by the hot exercise studio was chance? Unlikely. Sometimes they are even owned by the same people.
