Author Geneen Roth who wrote the now widely heard about book, Women Food And God made her debut on the Oprah Winfrey Show on May 12, 2010 telling her story about her weight loss struggles.
Her book is sub-titled, "An Unexpected Path To Almost Everything" to point out her belief that once you get your relationship with food right, everything else will then fall into place.
What's the answer to weight loss and weight issues? It's simple says Roth, just look at your plate and see what's right in front of you, don't run from it. That's kind of what's we've been saying here at ezHealthyDiet.com for the last 6 years or so, the answer to good health and a comfortable weight is at the end of your fork.
Geneen is not just some half baked nutritionist, she has approximately 3 decades worth of training and research into food, nutrition and weight loss and has put that into her latest book. Since a youngster Geneen has lost and gained more than 1,000 pounds on her yo-yo dieting trying to get comfortable with food and comfortable with her body.
She has been at both ends of the scale of weight issues, being obese and nearly anorexic, a danger to your body in either direction. She has felt euphoric when she's lost weight on fad diets and also plagued by feeling of self-hatred and shame. What finally got her off the track of a constant weight struggle was that she eventually decided not to struggle with weight loss any longer. She no longer was going to fight that war, fix herself and shame herself into losing weight. That's when everything changed.
She lost weight in that process of letting go and experienced a lot more that just weight loss. She discovered much about compulsive eating and shared that with hundreds to thousands of women, changing their lives forever. Now, after thirty years, comes Women Food And God and the basic message that the way you eat and what you think about food cannot be separated from your core beliefs about life in general.
What you think about food is a mirror reflecting what you think about life. Get the food thing right and everything else will fall into line, even your relationship with God. We kind of agree with that, but believe that God comes first in the order of things, not food.
We certainly know one thing in all the research we've done about food and nutrition, we certainly see how righteous people are about what they eat. Even in the face of overwhelming evidence about the link between food and disease, people still want to eat what they want to eat. Maybe Geneen Roth being on the Oprah Show with her book Women Food And God will change that. Men can probably learn a lot from this book as well.
