Check out Women Food and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything
Since featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Geneen Roth’s profound book, Women Food and God, has sparked a revolutionary new approach for women and weight issues. The book calls for women to reevaluate their relationship with food, their bodies and their emotional well-being.
In her bestselling book, “Women Food and God,” Geneen offers women the opportunity to reevaluate how they relate to food, and ultimately make the necessary changes to lose weight naturally and stop the ongoing battle. “Women Food and God” is the result of three decades of researching women and their insights into compulsive eating where Roth determines common causes of compulsive eating, explaining that the relationship with food is parallel with the person’s feelings about love, fear, anger, meaning and transformation. Perhaps even more importantly, this relationship is also directly influenced by spiritual relationship and beliefs. Having established this concept, Geneen presents valuable questions and exercises that open the door to exploring these relationships within ourselves.
“Women Food and God” is not a diet book, nor a healing manual, but a book about redesigning perspectives through personal examination. With a particular focus on food compulsions, this book is not a diet book, nor a healing book, but a book about self evaluation where readers question their own relationship with food, change their personal beliefs and resulting in instinctive changes . With millions of women suffering with their weight, they consequently have poor relationships with food. Unfortunately, the focus tends to be placed on losing the weight through calorie reduction or bouts of periodic exercise rather than dealing with the underlying problems for long term changes. Even women who lose weight through dieting feel guilty for eating too much, not eating enough, or continue to have food constantly on the brain.
“Your relationship with food, no matter how conflicted, is the doorway to freedom,” says Roth. “What you most want to get rid of is itself the doorway to what you want most: the demystification of weight loss and the luminous presence that so many of us call “God.”"
Truly a revolutionary work, “Women Food and God” is a must read. Not only is this THE book for reaching new heights in food relationships and healthy weight, but the approaches presented truly work for all aspects of life
