 A great book to keep on your bedside table September 4, 2008
Susie Orbach has distilled the essence of intuitive eating into a simple, elegant little book. If you are looking for a book which will explain how intuitive eating works, then this isn't the one - you'd be better off with the original Fat is a feminist issue. If however you want a book to dip into as a reminder, to motivate and inspire, it's just the ticket!!
 what patronising rubbish August 29, 2008
I have never witten a negative review before but this makes up for it! What a load of patronising tosh!! What a waste of money. It was like reading my Janet and John books when I first started school. It is a tiny book with just a few ideas written on each page, and I zipped my way through the book thinking "what rubbish" and tossed it in the bin before I had even reached the last page. "Eat when you are hungry". "Stop when you feel full". ok, I got the message.
A deliciously simple reminder of how to eat. ! May 12, 2008

Many people have dieted off and on for so long, they've forgotten how to eat in response to hunger and stop when they're full. This book reminds you that your body can tell you what and when to eat and when to stop, if you listen to it.
It also encourages you to deal with your emotions, rather than using food to suppress them - something a lot of overweight people do.
In a nutshell, this book shows you how to have a normal relationship with food.

I didn't know what to expect from this little book, as I have never heard of Susie Orbach and her supposed "hype". What I really liked about it was the realistic perspective (e.g. learning how to understand our hunger is like having had an accident and learn how to walk from scratch, or that it takes time to do these changes), the simple language and the fact that she identifies the excact problem of over-eating, which is responding to emotional hunger instead of our physical one. It is hard to find books that give us insights that can be used professionally when we work with people with emotional over-eating, because books either focus on the clinical eating disorders or they are self-help, diet-suggesting books. This one has been the second one (the first being "The hungry years" by William Leith, that I never let the pencil go off my hand, as I always find something useful to underline and either use for personal development or professional insight the psychology of eating. Follow the writer's suggestion (I do that with all of my reading) to take breaks and "digest" what you have read, because it may be tempting to read such a short book in one go.
The best book! June 13, 2005

My diet book collection, and knowledge, has grown larger over the years..... along with my body! This is a simple little book which shone a real light onto me when I read it. It is helping me rediscover 'hunger' rather than 'appetite' or 'habit'. I am a self confessed compulsive eater, with some binging thrown in. I know a good deal about diets and nutrition as I work in the health sector - this book is so simple and has helped me cut through all the cr*p and get right back to the basics of what your body needs. All I want is to eat normally, stop thinking about food all the time, feel healthier and loose some weight.This book is amazing, as can help you start to feel hunger again, you also begin to feel other feelings which you have held onto and smothered with food and fat. It is time to deal with all of those painful issues, food doesn't make them better in the long term. I have never been so organised, inspired and quietly enthusiasitc. Try it, you would spend the cost of this book on extra nosh at the weekend without the slightest thought!
