Synopsis

If you asked people to post a status update on their relationship with food, most would say "It's Complicated." We aspire to eat healthfully but find ourselves making hasty food choices driven by stress and convenience. Or we treat ourselves to a decadent dessert but feel so guilty we don't even enjoy it. The truth is we can't make good food decisions if we don't deeply examine our relationship with food.
In The Food Therapist, Shira Lenchewski offers readers an ongoing one-on-one food therapy session, revealing the root causes of our emotional hang-ups around food and providing the necessary tools to overcome them. This practical and judgment-free guide helps readers hone the skills needed to put their get-healthy intentions into daily action, such as planning ahead wisely, tuning into their fullness cues, and harnessing willpower (even when life gets messy).
Lenchewski also offers easy-to-follow, tasty recipes aimed at rebalancing our hormones and conquering our cravings without deprivation. The Food Therapist is a refreshingly modern resource that helps us finally un-complicate our relationship with food and our bodies. We can then focus our efforts on making thoughtful, healthy choices, day in and day out, which serve our ultimate goals, whatever they may be.

I've done Whole30 dozens of times, eat pretty clean, but the way we view food and talk down to ourselves can be just as unhealt......more

Goodreads review by Samantha on March 26, 2021

The first few chapters were very insightful and had helpful information. After that, it turns into a diet plan and turned me off. It was a bit too "eating healthy food to look good and meet my body goals" rather than what I was looking for: "eating food for me and not worrying about body goals". Not......more

Goodreads review by Bonnie on February 08, 2021

I really liked the chapter with the quiz at the beginning of the book. I've been thinking about my eating habits and this helped organize those thoughts. It also brought up issues/reasoning behind my habits that I hadn't really considered. I read a thing once that was basically "Don't drink when you......more

Goodreads review by Dorothy on June 23, 2021

I think this is a really good eye opener. It puts the thaughts into you eating routine, teaching you how to make better food choices as well as making you understand why you don’t. For anybody struggling with dietary restrictions, weight loss plateaus and frustration, this is a good book to start wi......more
