Food is essential to human existence, deeply rooted in our culture through cooking, gathering, and eating. From royal feasts to family celebrations, it has served roles in tradition, healing, and pleasure for millennia. However, modern society has complicated our relationship with food, transforming it from a source of nourishment and comfort into a source of guilt and shame. Diets and restrictions have replaced the joy of eating, leading to frustration, especially among families who are increasingly reliant on processed foods due to busy lifestyles. In her new work, Emily Weeks, RDN, LD, offers a refreshing perspective on intuitive eating, designed for families seeking to break free from the constraints of dieting. As family meals become less frequent and fad diets rise, many find themselves caught in a cycle of failed attempts to lose weight. This book challenges the notion that restriction leads to health, emphasizing instead the importance of enjoying meals together without the pressure of dieting. It provides guidance on how to introduce intuitive eating to your family, fostering a healthier and happier relationship with food. Ultimately, it advocates for a life free from the burdens of dietary restrictions, encouraging families to savor the joy of shared meals.
