Product Description

Dr. Michelle May will guide you out of the food-focused, diet-driven downward spiral that leads you to eat, repent, and repeat.

If you want to finally reset your thinking about eating, read this book! November 23, 2009

Never in the many years I have spent bemoaning my weight, fitness level and eating habits have I ever been presented with any written material that really helped me understand -- and transform -- what is going on with me until now. Do not be fooled into thinking that the concept "Am I hungry" is a simplistic approach to weight management. Many of us have spent the better part of our lives confused about what being hungry is, and "fulfilling" our hunger with mindless eating. Being "hungry" has been confused with being stressed, being sad, being angry, even being bored. If you want to discover how to truly identify and positively respond to physical hunger, and simultaneously learn how to identify and respond to the times it may seem we are hungry but are really in need of something else, READ THIS BOOK. If you want to have your "problem with eating" transformed from a seemingly un-winnable battle into a consistent daily victory, READ THIS BOOK! Best of all, if you love food like me, you will love it EVEN MORE after you have completed Dr. May's book. Life-changing is the best way to describe this book, but the most amazing aspect of that change is how quickly it can be made after reading (even while reading) -- it is literally like a key to a door that I've never opened -- but always wanted to -- was simply handed to me. Happily, the door remains open for me to explore the high energy, guilt free, amazing world that lies beyond. Read this book and open your own door -- you will be so glad you did!
Finally - a book that covers North American eating November 19, 2009

This book is very necessary in today's world of eating. While many people continue to focus on modifying their food selections and making "healthy" substitutions - we forget to address why we're overeating in the first place. This book covers it.
It has great suggestions about:
-daily eating and enjoying food
-the potential downside of using the scale for accountability
-why you may be overeating...and what to do
-recognizing hunger/fullness cues
After reading this book - eating will make sense again.
I will be recommending this book to many (if not all) of my clients.

Every health professional that educates their clients or patients about alternative approaches to weight loss and nutritional life style choices should own a copy of this book. Unfortunately, the idea of nourishing oneself has become lost in an over stimulated and processed culture. Dr. May does a wonderful job reconnecting to the source of our own nourishment through conscious eating, somatic awareness, and nutritional guidelines using easy to follow strategies, and mindful reminders.

As a practicing physician myself, I may mention a new health book or product to my patients if I think it might be useful for them. However Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat is actually featured prominently in my waiting room and I have personally introduced it to each and every patient.
Dr May's book about maintaining healthy weight actually breaks new ground for this age old problem and anyone who struggles with weight / eating issues, or lives with someone who does should check it out. My wife and I had the chance to read and review it last spring during its publication and we both agree it is probably the most effective book on the subject we have ever seen. We used the principles ourselves this past summer with terrific results.
Dr. May evidently struggled with overeating for many years and by making a thorough understanding of overeating her life's work, it seems she has managed to address just about every psychological aspect of the problem from first hand experience. And she has been at her ideal weight for well over a decade.
I thought her first book, Am I Hungry?, was a fine work with good ideas and a novel approach to the problem. But Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat is her masterpiece. It is comprehensive, leaving no style or aspect of overeating out. Best of all, there is absolutely no dieting or hunger with her methods. That's not to say it's easy. It isn't. But it IS NOT PAINFUL.
The fact is, this book will really help a percentage of readers (i.e. my own patients) maintain a healthier weight and that, more than any drug or other treatment I could give them, will have the most profound effect on their health and longevity.
Think. Nourish. Live. Eat. November 14, 2009

Think. Nourish. Live. Eat. In four simple themes, "Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat" takes you gently through the not-so-simple task of eating when hungry, stopping when full, and loving every bite along the way.
Dr. May provides both in-depth strategies for breaking the eat-repent-repeat cycle, as well as little gems of wisdom called Mindful Moments that break her advice into small, memorable bites of encouragement. Read this book, take her gentle and supportive advice, and rediscover one of the great pleasures of life-eating what you love without shame, guilt, or regret!
-- Elizabeth Patch, author and illustrator of More to Love
