    If dieting programs had to stand up to the same scrutiny as medications, they would never be allowed for public consumption.  Imagine, for example, taking an asthma medication, which improves your breathing for a few weeks, but in the long run...

Intuitive Eating The Ultimate Omega-3 Diet

I owe you my eternal gratitude; I just can't tell you how much this book has changed my life for the better.

I've been battling an eating disorder for some time. I made the very large step to see a specialist, and she happened to give me this book during one of our meetings. I read it in three days, and it literally has changed my life.

I wish I had bigger words than THANK YOU!! I am finally FREE from the prison I've subjected myself to for the past 25 years. For the first time in 25 years I feel beautiful and alive... and above all I have freedom and happiness. Your book "intuitively" called me to pull it off the shelf at the public library. I wasn't even looking for this kind of book. Although I had been walking around hopeless the past several years that there was no way out of this diet/body image prison. I had become resigned that I'm "stuck like this" for the rest of my life and felt such a deep inner sadness. I soaked in every page of your book and my life shifted in an instant!! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!

I too wanted to thank you ladies for this extraordinary book. My weight has fluctuated dramatically since I was a child. I have gone through just about every diet that's out there. Amazingly, I would never have considered myself a "dieter." But, of course, that's exactly what I am. Since moving to a new city, I have put on some weight. I was talking to my counselor from home about this, and she recommended Intuitive Eating. One word comes to mind when I think of this book: FREEDOM. It feels so natural and organic. It makes you want to hit yourself over the head and say "no duh!" I am vehemently opposed to the scale, so I can't give any numbers, but I know I've lost weight. More importantly, though, I FEEL great. It definitely takes time to get used to, but I truly feel like my life has drastically changed because of this book. If your considering embarking on this journey, DO IT!
