Women Food and God
by Geneen Roth
Roth's argument that how you eat is how you live: compulsive eating as a response to feelings, the eating guidelines (eat when hungry, sitting, without distraction, until satisfied), and the spiritual practice of being present with what the food is covering. It is reflective and has helped many women stop the diet-binge cycle.
Read it if…
you eat to manage feelings and dieting has made it worse.
Skip it if…
you want nutrition; it is psychology and spirit.
Three things you will actually use
- Compulsive eating is about feeling, not food.
- Presence at the meal reveals the pattern.
- Kindness, not control, breaks the cycle.
Do this first
Eat one meal with no distraction and notice what arises when you stop.
Our verdict
Reflective and helpful.
