The Love-Powered Diet: Eating for Freedom, Health, and Joy

by Victoria Moran

Overview

This can be the last weight-loss book you ever read. Finally, make peace with food and have a body you're proud of by drawing on the wisdom and grace already inside you. Replace cravings with calmness. Relate to food as a loving friend, not a feared enemy. In her own quest for freedom from compulsive eating and yo-yo dieting, Moran—once the chubby child of a diet doctor—discovered the power of combining the principles of the Twelve Step Program with the gentle way of eating espoused by yogis and mystics, and now supported by cutting-edge nutritional research. The result: falling in love—with yourself, your life, and The Love-Powered Diet!
