"Amidst the hundreds of books written on weight and food issues, Moving Away From Diets is a standout. Cutting-edge content, nondiet philosophy, and tools for practical application combine to make this one of the most utilized and dog-eared books you’ll have in your professional library."

Adrienne Ressler, MA, CSW; Body Image Specialist; Director of Clinical Outreach - The Renfrew Center, Ft Lauderdale, FL

"Moving Away From Diets should be read by every health care provider working today. A wonderful and open-minded nondiet alternative to the tried-and-failed restrictive eating approaches that have destroyed the physical and emotional well-being of countless dieters. A refreshing approach that makes a lot of sense."

Glenn Gaesser, PhD Author - Big Fat Lies; Associate Professor Exercise Physiology, U of VA

Moving Away From Diets: Camera Ready Handouts

This packet of 25 handouts is designed to be used with a nondiet approach to weight, eating and exercise issues. The handouts can be used with individual clients and in group settings, as well as for professional training and education.

The packet includes a description of the forms and brief explanation as to how to use them.

Several of the handouts are linked to enable you to view and/or download the form to preview and/or use. Handouts include:

• Basic Hunger/Satiety Scale- Visual guideline to assist in reconnecting with hunger/satiety. Uses 0-10 scale with descriptions of each number.
• My Hunger/Satiety Scale – Clients use to explore their experience of hunger and satiety, filling in their perceptions of each number on the HungerScale.
• Hunger/Satiety Food Journal – Clients chart hunger/satiety ratings on graph next to food intake. Columns to record food exchanges, moods, exercise. Your client can download these by going to Products at the left and clicking on Handouts (and you don’t have to keep making copies!). I prefer this food journal because the hunger/satiety graph is empty squares and I can easily see the flow of my client’s responses.
• Hunger/Satiety Food Journal Variations -
  Some people need more than the open graph of the previous H/S Food Journal, so the Food Journal II and Food Journal III were created for them! The graph has numbers in the squares correlating with the HungerScale. Your client can down load these at Products as well.
• CEP Hunger/Satiety Food Journal – Use this version of the food journal when you ask your clients to keep track of eating assignments you give them. Two that are included are Chosen Eating Place (CEP) and No Other Activity. This enable clients to slow down and quit distracting themselves and only focus on the food (and find out if they really “just love to eat!). The third spot is for additional exercises. This also comes in two versions.
• Am I Exercise Resistant? - Checklist of reasons a person might become exercise resistant. Use this list to help your client alter her/his perceptions of physical activity to encourage a return to joyful movement.
• Motivations to Move – Explore and rank unusual motivations to get the body moving besides burning calories and shaping the body.
• Matching Motive to Activity – Using the motivations discovered in the previous handout, match their motivations to a wide variety of activiites. Helps clients select satisfying physical activities. Two page handout.
• Theory of Expando Thighs – Use to decode what is going on behind those fat feelings. Two page handout.
• Eating Styles Compared – Overview of attuned eating, deprivation-driven eating and emotional eating to help clients compare these different eating styles.
• Feelings List - Lists feeling words in four basic categories to assist in identifying feelings.
• Fear/ Glad/ Mad/ Sad Defined - These 4 forms outline typical words used to describe each feeling, then lists synonyms and a sentence to assist understanding of the words.
• Feelings Communication Model - Walks clients through the appropriate expression of feelings, differentiates between thoughts and feelings.
• Feelings Faces (female and male version) - drawings that depict common feelings.
• Blank Feelings Face (female) - Clients can draw depictions of their feelings.
• Keys Starvation Study – Checklist of seldom thought about consequences of dieting, eye-opening for clients.
• Comparing Consequences of Dieting and Sexual Abuse – Highlights the abusive nature of dieting, and the traumatization of dieting that, though impacts everyone, is especially difficult for abuse survivors.
• Comparing Traditional and Nondiet Approaches to Eating and Weight – Spells out the differences between these approaches, helpful in teaching clients the differences between these two paradigms.
• Comparing Traditional and HAES Approaches to Eating and Weight - Same as previous form except that the term "Health At Every Size (HAES)" is used in the comparison header rather than “nondiet.” For people or groups who already have an understanding that weight is not an independent indicator of health.
• Seeking Satisfaction – Compares how NOT to feel satisfied when you eat to how TO feel satisfied when you eat. Follows with tips on how to find satisfaction.
