Secrets of Feeding a Healthy Family by Ellyn Satter

Secrets of Feeding a Healthy Family by Ellyn Satter

This readable, entertaining, and light-hearted book by Ellyn Satter, based on solid scientific evidence, will transform your life. In writing about eating, feeding, and cooking, Satter also writes about emotional health and positive family relationships. Satter encourages you to celebrate eating. Eating is okay. Eating enough is okay. Enjoying eating is okay. Eating what you like--and discovering the joy of cooking--is okay. Taking time to eat is okay. Making eating a priority is okay. Raising your child to do the same thing is more than okay, it is brilliant How can this be? Won't taking off the brakes on eating and weight make you eat way too much and gain a lot of weight? Based on her research and experience with eating competence and the Satter division of responsibility in feeding, Satter says no. On the contrary, discovering the joy of eating--becoming eating competent--lets you connect with your inner self that knows how to eat.

Ellyn Satter's books have reportedly changed the lives of many readers: she writes not just about food, eating, and feeding, but also about emotional wellness and strong family ties. By conveying her view that you and your family are more important than your diet, Satter blesses every food and you for eating it. According to Satter's research, being optimistic and trusting of yourself when it comes to food and eating is better for your nutritional, medical, and mental health than following a set of rules about what to eat and what not to eat. Is it true that allowing oneself to feel cheerful and enthusiastic when it comes to food can make you gain weight? Those who are skilled at eating--those who approach food and eating with optimism, self-confidence, and curiosity--weigh less than those who eat with negativity, self-denial, and avoidance.
