I work hard to follow intuitive eating practices, typically. And when I saw this book, I thought it would give me more information on how to better doing that. And expanding that knowledge. Especially coming from a background where I have a less than healthy relationship with food.

But the further I read into this book, I felt like the author was pressing me to feel bad for not following this way of thought perfectly. I ended up skimming the last chunk before the recipes to find caveats of information I might find useful, and there are some great pointers for people new to mindful eating. But as someone who has an unhealthy relationship with food, instead of promoting a good relationship between my body and food. I was left feeling that the mechanisms that I use to ensure I make it thru periods of my life are wrong.

This book may be good for people without a history of disordered eating, but I wouldn't recommend it for people who do.
