When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies: Freeing Yourself from Food and Weight ObsessionIn this revolutionary book, bestselling authors Carol Munter and Jane Hirschmann explore the myriad reasons why women cling to diets despite overwhelming evidence that diets don’t work. In fact, diets turn us into compulsive eaters obsessed with food and weight. Munter and Hirschmann call this syndrome “Bad Body Fever” and demonstrate how “bad body thoughts” are clues to our emotional lives. They explore the difficulties women encounter replacing dieting with demand feeding. And finally, they teach us how to think about our problems rather than eat about them—so that food can resume its proper place in our lives.Read More

Kids, Carrots, and Candy: A Practical, Positive Approach to Raising Children Free of Food and Weight ProblemsThis insightful book offers a common-sense, relaxed approach to healthy eating based on the method of self-demand feeding. Contrary to the belief that children must be forced to eat what's good for them, to clean their plates, and to avoid all sweets, Kids, Carrots, and Candy presents evidence that children will naturally self-regulate their eating if rigid rules are not imposed upon them. By trusting natural hunger cycles and letting children choose when, what, and how much they eat, food becomes demystified, and a lifetime of fears, fights, and anxieties around food, weight, and diet are eliminated.Read More

The Overcoming Overeating Philosophy
Compulsive eaters are people whose hands or minds move toward food when they are not at all hungry. Compulsive eating has nothing to do with the size of your body. Compulsive eaters come in all shapes and sizes. Compulsive eating has to do with how many hours you spend preoccupied with thoughts about what you are eating and what you look like. The Overcoming Overeating approach does not address eating disorders; it addresses dieting disorders—the casualties of the diet industry.
Compulsive eating may seem self-destructive, but it is always an attempt at self-help.
Diets never, ever solve eating and weight problems. Diets cause compulsive eating.
Significant change flows only from self-acceptance, never from self-contempt.
Food is not the compulsive eater's problem, it is the solution. The Overcoming Overeating approach teaches people how to eat their way out of an eating problem.
