Staying Off the Diet Roller Coaster supplies a foundation of real life experiences and advice to support you in a lifestyle without diets.
You will understand the diet mentality as you relate to the everyday experiences of others putting a healthy balance to their lifestyle. The strongest message is “here’s how to build support for your no-more-diets decision."
Written by a well-known dietitian and activist in the non-diet movement, Linda Omichinski, this book is a step-by-step companion to discovering the freedom of a truly diet-free lifestyle. It emphasizes the gradual process of tailoring your tastes for nutritious foods, the strength of journaling, the joys of exercise, and the power of affirmations, with advice on working with (and converting) health providers and strengthening support networks. Can be used alone or with groups for even more support! (Source: Gurze 2002 Eating Disorders Resource Catalogue)
