Product Description
"Our diet-obsessed culture," observes psychologist and eating disorder specialist Dr. Harper, "has robbed us of a joyful relationship with food." We are deluged by diet information-and misinformation-from doctors and scientists, to celebrities and food industry spokespeople. The pressure to diet and to avoid foods on the ever-changing forbidden list is more staggering than at any other time in history. Is it any wonder that people are either obsessed with dieting or so overwhelmed that they've simply given up? All of us born in the twentieth century have been influenced by what Dr. Harper calls the way of dieting. We've made eating into a set of rules, most often for the purpose of weight loss even though this is not the way we were meant to eat. "Our bodies tell us what they need if we are willing to listen," is Harper's reassuring message. After helping hundreds of clients take charge of their relationship with food, Dr. Harper shows how to leave the way of dieting behind.

 The Help I Needed October 4, 2005

If you have been struggling with on and off dieting and food obsession, this book is a great tool to start on the road to normal eating. The book is not a diet book but a way of living. Many people I know, including myself, read this book more than once as it provides such valuable tools of self discovery. This book is for the individual that has had enough of the diets and wants to come to a sense of peace about their relationship with food and the daily choices they make. I highly recommend this book if you are ready to find a peaceful way to live for the rest of your life.

Time spent reading this book and following its tenets is time that has been wasted. The ideas in this book will lead to obesity and lack of self-assuredness. The author claims that one eat and become healthly just by paying attention to one's cravings.

Call this book "how to get fatter without hardly trying". A feel-good bromide for those without willpower.

After reading and dismissing this book a year ago, I read all the reviews and testimonials posted here and decided to give it another look. But no matter HOW many friends and relatives write to laud this book, the truth is that it offers no new insight or guidance for those seeking relief from their obsessions with eating, starving, OR compulsive overeating. The author offers the same old platitudes about "enjoying the moment", but what good does that do? It's an empty book, full of ephemeral promises and platitudes but nothing solid to build on or learn from. Save your money and your time - you don't need THIS claptrap!
