Product Description
Normal Eating® is a uniquely effective step-by-step program to free people from compulsive urges and emotional eating. It's not a quick fix, but it's a real fix. You not only lose weight, you become a true normal eater. Many people who've failed to solve their eating problems in the past finally succeed with Normal Eating®. The Normal Eating® method draws from the Zen principle of mindfulness, 12-step wisdom on addiction, intuitive eating (the non-diet approach), cognitive psychology, and solid nutrition. Author Sheryl Canter analyzed the natural recovery process and broke it into stages, with each stage building on the last. The result is a gentle, step-by-step guide that greatly improves the odds of success. The book lays out the program in detail. An accompanying online support group lets you ask questions of the author, and apply the ideas to your own life.

Throw out all your other books! by Katherine Crane  5 Stars
July 03, 2009
One could claim that this book doesn't provide any "new" information in the area of dealing with "disordered eating," as I like to call it. For me, that is a relief.
I have read dozens--literally--of books on dealing with emotional eating, binge eating disorder, intuitive eating, etc. and feel that there is only so much information that is out there. What I felt was that each book was only part of the puzzle. Intuitive Eating gave me the idea of eating from hunger only but did not teach me how to get there. Binge-Eating treatment plans focused on developing regular eating patterns but failed to deal with the emotional side. Emotional eating books were the most helpful, but I always felt like I was missing a clear step by step program.
And so I would jump back and forth from book to book, sometimes feeling like I would have to use them simultaneously to get any real benefit, and this would become very overwhelming and eventually lead to just quitting the attempt.
I have NEVER before seen a book like "Normal Eating for Normal Weight" that so perfectly integrates all the most salient points of treatment for someone with disordered eating. It combines the ideas of eating only from hunger, stopping emotional eating, cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, and making good nutritional choices in a revolutionary way that results in a fabulous, easy to understand, comprehensive program. You are told HOW to get to the point of being able to eat mostly healthy foods only when hungry. It is admittedly a long journey to recovery, but I am excited to begin working through this process using this *one* book as a guide.

An excellent guide for overcoming binge eating by Picky Reviewer (Los Angeles, CA) 5 Stars
June 29, 2009
This is a great book for people who struggle with emotional and/or binge eating. I wish the book were longer and a bit more detailed; however, the author has a website on which she has posted a lot of great information.

Normal eating is possible! by B. labagh (Scotland) 5 Stars
June 23, 2009
This book is amazing! I read sections from it most days, it just reconnects me with what my body wants. Now if I have a food craving I can check in and see, what do I really want? I've used food to distract/reward/sooth myself as long as I can remember, and it never "worked" I just ended up feeling sick and full of despair, now if I have a treat I can take the time to enjoy it(not binge) and have compassion for myself. The online forum has tons of great info and supportive people too!

Book is really helpful by JA (Ohio, USA) 5 Stars
June 20, 2009
This is a great book for someone who is tired of dieting and ready to start reconnecting with what it's like to just eat normally. Many women start dieting at puberty and are on and off diets for most of their adult lives. If you are someone who is sick of this cycle or has a problem with emotional eating, then this is a book is for you. It isn't a quick fix, but rather a program that will probably take 1 to 2 years to get through. I have been following the program for a few months now and am almost completely over binge eating which I've struggled with for years. I can't say I've lost weight yet, but I've made a lot of progress and am more at peace with myself. There is also an excellent online forum that can go along with the book. The author is part of the discussions on a daily basis and the participants provide a lot of online support as well. I highly recommend this book if you are ready to make this type of change in your life.

Revolutionary approach by Cassie Allen (Panhandle, FL USA) 5 Stars
June 13, 2009
This book is teaching me to examine my own inner self rather than looking at the body in the mirror. I don't overeat or undereat because of what the mirror shows me. I do it because inside myself I'm not content and I don't like that unsettled feeling, so I try to anesthetize it away through controlling food intake. Sheryl Canter teaches about not only the myths associated with emotional eating disorders, but, and maybe even more importantly, at step-by-step practical approach as to how one can actually change those patterns. My favorite thing about Sheryl's writing is that she includes concise ways to apply the truths uncovered in her research. Highly recommended.
