RE: Geneen Roth's new book, Women, Food, and God
Some of you know that part of my maintenance is to make dieting into a pleasurable hobby.
That is a book I bought and read, as I do with almost all new best-selling diet books.
The information inside is identical to her lectures in her week long workshops,
one of which I paid for and attended in 2009.
Essentially, since I was present at her workshops,
I gained even more evidence about intuitive eating
and how it affects people,
my own, (rather harsh) opinion is that 'it is a load of crap'.
I spent many years in Trial Practice while Specializing as a Family Law Attorney,
and I believe I've developed quite a useful inner Truth rader
while observing people's speech and behavior.
After meeting Geenen, watching her and listening to her lectures etc.
I believe that many of her personal statements
about her own experiences and the experiences of others, "bend the truth",
which she mentally justifies by thinking it will help others
while helping her futher her personal goals of fame and financial success.
I saw quite a lot of fat people there who've come to her (quite expensive) workshops year after year.
and many, many more fat people who've just grown fatter doing intuitive eating.
Out of about 100 people there, I saw zero formerly obese people
who had lost much weight or maintained weight-loss by intuitive eating.
The only people I saw who appeared to benefit from that type of eating,
were relatively normal people, who merely went into the overweight,
or borderline obese category for awhile,
and probably would have returned to normal weight
by consistently doing anything to downsize their overeating.
