Eating Disorders

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? 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.

Have you ever stood in front of an empty cookie package, stunned and wondering, "How did I get here again?" Or perhaps you've sworn off certain foods, only to secretly binge on them later, filled with guilt and shame. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone — and there's nothing wrong with you. In The Binge Eating Breakthrough, Jane Pilger offers a refreshing, compassionate, and radically different approach to overcoming binge eating — one that doesn't rely on willpower, restrictive diets, or constant self-control.

En muchas ciudades, más de la mitad de los adultos son obesos y muchos de los niños también lo son. Uno de los mayores contribuyentes a la obesidad es el atracón de comida. El atracón de comida es cuando alguien se ve obligado a comer compulsivamente y sigue comiendo pasando el punto de plenitud e incluso llegando el punto de dolor físico. A menudo se realiza en un estado alterado de conciencia en el que el comensal ni siquiera se da cuenta de qué está comiendo. Los atracones de comida o comilonas, con bastante frecuencia, son un factor que contribuye a la epidemia de la diabetes.

Diet culture is facing a reckoning, and intuitive eating has been leading the charge. The movement has taken the internet by storm, encouraging us to stop dieting and make food choices that feel good for our bodies rather than follow influencers and their shakes. But intuitive eating is missing a key ingredient: culture. Like many movements, intuitive eating has become co-opted by a select few—placing the focus on “mainstream” food while discounting cultural cuisines.

„Fressen ist Kopfsache“ ist kein typisches Abnehm-Buch. Es ist ein ehrlicher, provokativer und motivierender Blick auf die mentale Seite des Essens – und darauf, wie der Weg zu einem gesünderen Leben im Kopf beginnt. Dieses Buch richtet sich an alle, die nicht mehr in Diätspiralen und frustrierenden Rückschlägen gefangen sein wollen, sondern endlich verstehen möchten, warum sie essen, was sie essen, und wie sie sich selbst davon befreien können.
