Food: The Good Girl's Drug
by Sunny Sea GoldA guide to ending compulsive emotional overeating and establishing a healthy relationship with food. Sunny Sea Gold started fighting a binge eating disorder in her teens.

With humor and compassion from someone who's seen it all, Food: The Good Girl's Drug is about experiences shared by many women-whether they've been struggling with compulsive overeating their whole lives, or have just admitted to themselves, that yes, it's more than just a bad habit.

The Food and Feelings Workbook
by Karen R. KoenigAn extraordinary, powerful connection exists between feeling and feeding that, if damaged, may lead to one relying on food for emotional support, rather than seeking authentic happiness. This unique workbook takes on the seven emotions that plague problem eaters - guilt, shame, helplessness, anxiety, disappointment, confusion, and loneliness - and shows readers how to embrace and learn from their feelings. Written with honesty and humor, the book explains how to identify and label a specific emotion, the function of that emotion, and why the emotion drives food and eating problems. Each chapter has two sets of exercises: experiential exercises that relate to emotions and eating, and questionnaires that provoke thinking about and understanding feelings and their purpose. Supplemental pages help readers identify emotions and chart emotional development. The final part of the workbook focuses on strategies for disconnecting feeling from food, discovering emotional triggers, and using one's feelings to get what one wants out of life.

Food Yoga: Nutrire Corpo, Mente e Anima
by Paul Rodney TurnerProprio come gli esseri umani, anche gli animali provano dolore. Certo, non avranno il tipo di intelligenza necessario per costruire un grattacielo, ma sono dotati di intelligenza e provano emozioni, sono vivi, respirano e sono esseri senzienti proprio come lo siamo noi. Infatti, tutte le creature, dagli insetti alle piante, ai microorganismi marini, agli innumerevoli organismi unicellulari che esistono in ogni dove, hanno uno scopo ben preciso. Il collegamento è il motore della vita. Tutto è interconnesso. Niente è veramente autosufficiente. Così come acqua ed aria sono inseparabili, così lo è l’interdipendenza di tutti gli esseri venti. Siamo tutti uniti nella vita per la nostra sopravvivenza sulla Terra. La condivisione è tutto. La consapevolezza dell’unità che incorpora tutte le forme di vita è il fondamento di una società veramente umana. Il documentario HOME[1] lo riassume in questo modo: “La Terra si basa su un equilibrio in cui ogni essere vivente ha un ruolo da svolgere, ed esiste solo grazie all’esistenza di un altro essere vivente – un’impercettibile e fragile armonia che è facilmente compromessa.” L’accettazione di questa interdipendenza e il bisogno di equilibrio e gratitudine costituiscono l’essenza stessa del FOOD YOGA. Il nostro viaggio comincia nell’ambito della scienza molecolare e della fisica quantistica e stabilisce il fatto che il cibo, come tutto in questo mondo, sia essenzialmente solo un’altra forma di energia. Ciononostante, questa consapevolezza spesso sfugge a noi esseri umani o perché siamo troppo occupati a consumare cibo per preoccuparcene; o perché siamo privi dell’acuta percezione sensoriale necessaria per accorgercene; il che si traduce in una quasi inesistente percezione dello spettro elettromagnetico. Così come il cibo, anche i nostri pensieri sono una forma di energia, e possono quindi influenzare il cibo che consumiamo, nello

Food Yoga: Nahrung für Körper, Geist & Seele
by Paul Rodney TurnerDer Autor Paul Rodney Turner, der "Food Yogi", nimmt Sie mit auf eine Reise der Wiederentdeckung des Essens und seiner Bedeutung für unsere spirituelle Entwicklung. FOOD YOGA bietet nicht nur praktische Anleitungen für ein gesundes und glückliches Leben durch Wiederverbindung mit der Natur, sondern führt den Leser auch in die Kraft des Essens als Einheit und Medium ein, um unsere Liebe zum Göttlichen auszudrücken.
