"What I like best about Moving Away From Diets is the wealth of hands-on experience that is captured in each chapter. The authors clearly know their stuff. As a Registered Dietitian, I enjoy learning from their experiences. The information has helped me better move my clients away from diets."

"'Diets don’t work" is a well-established battle cry. However, without philosophy or guidelines to use in place of dieting, health care professionals can be at a loss for how to really help clients come to terms with their bodies, eating and weight. Moving Away From Diets offers the solution by combining the nondiet philosophy with practical, hands-on tools to use directly with clients. This book is a must read for all health care professionals."

Carolyn Costin, MA, MFCC Author - Your Dieting Daughter; Director - Eating Disorder Center of California

 

"These veteran clinicians have written a practical workbook that incorporates state of the art knowledge regarding weight management. I highly recommend it, particularly for those who have struggled with traditional weight management methods."
