Just Eat It: How intuitive eating can help you get your shit together around food

If you are exhausted from trying to lose weight and want to be like you were before you ever knew what a calorie was, this book is for you. Straight talk from an author who nails the problem beautifully. Most of us who are stressed with our weight, are not kind and merciful with our personal mistakes. The author, Laura addresses this and it is like a balm for me on a wound. I am not overweight but my mind needed to be at peace with eating like I did years ago before the diet junk creeped in. I am encouraged by reading this book and am becoming more lighthearted about eating whatever without fear. No extra weight from doing this has come on. Even if it does, I am going to keep going and not quit and never diet again. Life is far too short and I would rather accomplish something amazing than waste time worrying about a needle on the scale going up or down. Hope this review helps someone who needs a rest from the burden of diets. Relax, go eat something you LOVE and be lighthearted without guilt.

i bought this book but did not get to it for several months (surprisingly). It laid on the floor next to a couple of other books. I picked it up day before yesterday and can't put it down because I want to absorb its wisdom. It is direct in explaining why Intuitive Eating is really the only way to go. I have fought the concept for decades but Dr.. Thomas illustrates why I wasted years and subjected my body to travails I wish I had not. She writes with ample evidence and convinces the reader without putting the person down. I hope people pick this up, consider its message, and reread it as I intend to do. Thank you, Dr. Thomas, for a compelling argument for Intuitive Eating rather than yet another failed diet.

Overall, I found this book to be very enlightening and packed full of useful information. As someone who has been dieting, in one way or another, for over 20 years, this book was extremely eye opening. While I went in with the idea that I knew a lot of this information already, I still learned so many things. As I begin my journey on breaking up with the diet industry and regaining my ability to eat intuitively, I found this book to be a great introduction and a way to build lifelong skills so I can truly say I will never diet again. The only negative thing about the book is that it can feel a bit repetitive at times as some of the information is reused in multiple sections but I also understand the need for some repetition, I just noticed it would cause me to lose focus when I felt like I had already read a particular section too many times. Otherwise this is a great, informative read and I think it is beneficial to every person who is interested in intuitive eating.

THIS. BOOK. WAS. AMAZING!!!!! Do not second guess buying this, it was one of the most helpful books I’ve ever read. If you feel like you need to get out of this toxic cycle of diet culture please read this!

Fantastic book about the ins and outs of intuitive eating and how to heal your relationship with yourself around food, weight and diet culture. Very clear, well-researched, funny and insightful. Love her podcast as well.

I love this book so much. It has been a practical IE guide. Totally recommend!

Great book!

I’ve just started this book and think it’s going to be an excellent resource. However, I am giving it 3 stars only because of the use of foul language. the text is peppered *liberally* with cursing which is unnecessary, and frankly, annoying. The swearing is distracting and takes away from the intelligence of the text.
