A recipe book for people with eating disorders? Surely that's an
oxymoron
Actually, no. This book is about so much more than just the food.
It's about helping you to even consider the idea of eating normally
again. Acclaimed by eating disorder MDs, therapists, RDs,
researchers and programs, this is no ordinary cookbook. Whether you
have anorexia, bulimia or binge eating disorder, it is about
trusting us and allowing us to guide you to take that "leap of
faith" from contemplation to preparation to action (learn more in
the book).
But perhaps it is not you that has the eating disorder. Perhaps
you are the parent or loved one of someone struggling to recover?
"Food to Eat" provides a practical starting point to discuss food
preparation and eating, while providing recipes you can all feel
comfortable enjoying. And, you'll gain insight into the thought
process many with eating disorders are up against. No, your child
or spouse or partner is not just being difficult and
oppositional--eating disorders are serious illnesses that hijack
our rational thought and our ability to appropriately care for
ourselves.
In "Food to Eat," Cate and Lori talk constantly in their separate
voices. Their strong opinions have been formed through very
different but complementary experiences--and as such they make it
explicit whose voice you are hearing at any time--Cate's or Lori's.
More than a cook book for eating disorder recovery. It's like
making a couple of new friends
In "Food to Eat," you'll find two supports, Cate & Lori,
guiding you as you begin to change your relationship with food.
They anticipate your fears and thoughts, say them out loud in a
lighthearted way and help you get past them. They dialogue about
the recipes and nutrition content to set the record straight--about
fats, protein, carbs and a range of other nutrients--helping you
expand your food selection and normalize your eating. You'll
realize quickly that they get it--they really do. Cate will
challenge, and Lori responds--much like the two voices that play
out in your own head. And of course there are the wonderful,
healthy and easy-to-justify recipes--25 of them--from 'breakfast
any time', to main dishes and sides, to 'endings any time'. They'll
take you from just thinking about eating to shopping and stocking
your pantry, to cooking and managing your portions.
