I also wrote this book to add my voice to the healthy weight fray. Indeed, I’m hoping that my voice adds to the sanity rather than the chaos of the weight loss industry. Over and over in my professional life I have seen individuals working in earnest to improve their lives by improving their health. And more often than not, people’s positive motivation to improve their health is subverted. There is so much misinformation that sounds so true! Some self-proclaimed experts misinform for financial or ego expansion; some out of naïveté. I have spent much of my life working to be a balanced voice of reason, simplicity, and sanity.
Every Bite Is Divine is more than just another diet book. It’s a compassionate framework through which to view not only what you eat, but also how you feel and who you are. It’s a whole lifestyle book. No lists of denied foods or needless sacrifices. Just conscious choices and a process for making them. For those of us with weight and eating issues, learning to care for our bodies with love and compassion and without compulsion is part of our lifelong spiritual path. I hope to grow a community of support for all of us who share that path.
Every Bite Is Divine aims for the root of the problem of weight—the underlying issues that are causing you to overeat and preventing you from moving. Then, rather than forcing you into a diet that works for others, it provides personal, gradual, doable suggestions for making lasting and permanent changes that work for you. Every Bite Is Divine is based on the latest nutrition, behavioral, and movement science and acknowledges from day one that change is not easy, but it is something you can do for yourself in order to live your fullest life.
