Synopsis
Written in easy-to-understand, everyday language, The Rules of “Normal” Eating lays out the four basic rules that "normal" eaters follow instinctively — eating when they're hungry, choosing foods that satisfy them, eating with awareness and enjoyment, and stopping when they're full or satisfied. Along with specific skills and techniques that help promote change, the book presents a proven cognitive-behavioral model of transformation that targets beliefs, feelings, and behaviors about food and eating and points the way toward genuine physical and emotional fulfillment. Readers learn how to reprogram their dysfunctional beliefs, manage uncomfortable feelings without turning to food, and establish new eating habits that tune their bodies into natural sensations of hunger, pleasure, satisfaction, and satiation. Filled with humorous insights, compassion, and practical wisdom, the book outlines balanced attitudes and patterns that benefit all types of eaters.

February 26, 2006: This for me was not just about eating. I found this to be a 'fun' and enlightened read for anyone wanting to master moderate and sensible living. The author speaks with authority and compassion and injects a fair amount of wit and humor. The material is presented in a very progressive and logical format .A joy to 'devour'.

February 12, 2006: I am a psychotherapist who specializes in food and body image disorders and I was absolutely thrilled when this book came out. I recommend The Rules of Normal Eating to all my clients who struggle with emotional and compulsive eating and I have used the book as an adjunct to my groups. I have seen first hand what a difference this book makes in people?s lives. First, the book is very accessible. It?s easy to read and to understand. Karen's writing style is comfortable and engaging and she has a great sense of humor. She also speaks from personal experience which makes the reader feel like she?s not just some authority on the topic, but someone who knows exactly what you?re going through. Second, Karen offers practical tools that if followed can help readers fundamentally change their relationship to food. She shows readers how to examine and challenge their beliefs about food, their body?s and themselves. Readers discover healthy new ways of thinking. She offers practical and effective strategies for listening to and trusting the body, working through uncomfortable feelings and caring for the self. Karen does not pretend that doing this work is easy. She has great empathy for how difficult it is to honestly examine one?s relationship to food and one?s deeply held beliefs and make necessary changes. But she stays with the reader every step of the way, giving amazing suggestions, support and compassion. FIVE STARS!
