Product Description
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.

Food for Thought February 22, 2010
L. Ellis (Tucson, AZ)
I just received this book and I can't put it down. It has the most reasonable, logical arguments to explain the irrationality of overeating. I find that it contradicts other books I have read;I have followed Weight Watcher's philosophy and Over-eater's Anonymous steps and they treat the person as out-of-control. While this book gives you credit for being rational and sane the whole time, just out of step. I look forward to following the rules and making progress on my goals.

Right Knowledge In This Book I Promise You January 14, 2010

1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I have lost over 150 pounds and kept it off for over 35 years now. I am a psychotherapist by profession and have read tons of books on weight loss and addictions. I really only have two books currently I think hit the spot for folks who are interested in mastering the right knowledge when it comes to compulsive overeating, food addiction, obesity or whatever term you want to use in the matter. This book is one of them. The other one Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat: How to Break Your Eat-Repent-Repeat Cycle Therefore, my unqualified recommendation is buy this book! You might also want to get the other one as well.

The Rules of "Normal" Eating November 15, 2009
I've read several books on compulsive eating and having trouble just saying "no." This book is the absolute BEST book written regarding eating behavior issues! I strongly recommend anyone who is having problems with food to read this book. This author really "hit the nail on the head." It was like she was talking to me and really knew what my issues were. Read this book and you'll get a lot of help and questions answered. It did help that she, herself, has had eating issues for several years of her life so she knows where we are all at.

I use it in my classes September 24, 2009
JoLaine Jones-Pokorney (Florida)
Karen Koenig's work is an excellent addition to the Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size curriculum. I teach a seven-week Intuitive eating course and use lots of her concepts - especially the list of irrational beliefs. A definite read if you are looking to gain a sane perspective on food and your body.
