Synopsis:

Families today are overstressed and overworked, resulting in a reliance on quick processed foods and drive-through meals. Family meals are happening less frequently, and the use of fad diets to lose weight and get healthy is increasing, especially among kids and teenagers. An astonishing number of diets fail, leaving us feeling defeated and frustrated. But what if we could live a life free from dieting, restriction, and the suffering that goes along with it? Intuitive Eating for Families discusses why restriction doesn't work and why striving for a certain weight does more harm than good. Instead, it explains how to introduce your family to intuitive eating and, most importantly, how to enjoy healthy and happy family meals. Intuitive Eating for Families includes: Comprehensive guidance especially tailored for families, with tips for how introducing the intuitive approach to young children and teens. A special section on gentle nutrition - how to eat healthier as a family without feeling deprived or restricted. Tips for coming together for family meals, trying new foods, and reducing pickiness without a fight. Advice for how to become healthier as a family without focusing on weight or body size. Information about dealing with junk food and emotional eating as children and adults. Nutritionally balanced recipes for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, sides, desserts, and snacks.
