Every Bite Is Divine : The Balanced Approach to Enjoying Eating, Feeling Healthy and Happy, and Getting to a Weight That's Natural for You

Every Bite Is Divine

How to have health, happiness...and a body you can live with and love

We each have a perfect natural weight and shape. By remembering how to care for ourselves lovingly, we allow ourselves to rediscover that unique and healthy body.

In Every Bite Is Divine, you'll discover:

• why diets put your mind and body in the mode to gain, not lose, weight - and simple ways to reverse the trend
• how you are continually bombarded with cues to eat exactly what's wrong for you - and how you can inoculate yourself
• when 'fight or flight' turns into 'stew and chew,' learn to short-circuit the cycle, manage stress - and drop pounds the healthy way

Our modern environment, filled with junk foods, promotes weight gain. At the same time we are inundated with images that suggest we are failures if we aren't model thin. This culture of mixed messages undermines our ability to be happy with who we are.

Through yoga and other methods of relaxation and rediscovering our self-care basics, we avoid being a casualty in the collision between human biology and modern society.
