Geneen Roth is the author of Breaking Free From Emotional Eating, When Food Is Love: Exploring The Relationship Between Eating and Intimacy, and Why Weight? A Guide To Ending Compulsive Eating. Her new book Women Food and God: An Unexpected Path To Almost Everything continues her exploration between our emotions and what we eat. In her book she claims that everything we do and everything we are is reflected in the food we put into our mouths. The food reflects us, and we reflect the food.
Her solution? Don’t diet, fix yourself. In Women Food and God, Geneen helps readers to heal themselves, spiritually, and emotionally, so that they can heal themselves physically. As you may have guessed based on her former books, her recommendations are based on compulsive and emotional eaters. Over eaters in general, but those who eat normal amounts of the wrong foods can benefit from her advice as well. She advises would-be dieters to instead become conscientious eaters. To slow down and savor your food, stop being afraid of what others think of what you’re eating, and follow your body’s desires (eat when hungry, stop when you’re satisfied). This advice has been around for a long time, but it’s easy to forget in our hectic lives.
