The book Un-Dieting was born out of a lifetime of failed diets, addiction to food and drugs, frustration over not having the body we always wanted to have and years of experience working with eating disorders. After years of dieting, we finally learned that diets were the very thing keeping our weight on! Instinctively, we knew this must be true, because we finally were beginning to see that all the weight we lost from diets was regained... sooner or later. This book will teach you that the main reason we eat excess calories is due to excess hunger, which is direct result of diets and deprivation. Then we will show you why and how we "eat our emotions", rather than expressing them. And most important, you will receive tools: tools for eliminating anger and resentment; tools for transforming fear and worry; and tools for communicating your wants and needs, so that you no longer have to eat your feelings. Lastly, you will notice that when you have self-esteem or confidence, you feel better, you perform better, you communicate better, your relationships are better, and your ability to lose excess weight is greatly enhanced. So, because self esteem goes hand in hand with success in every area of your life, you will receive 20 keys for raising self-esteem on a daily basis.
Bio - Diana Diana Lipson-Burge, Registered Dietitian, founder of The Energy Resource and co-author of the book: Un-Dieting, Undoing the Diet Mentality and Staying Fit Forever. Diana has been a nutrition consultant for 27 years. She is recognized in Southern California as a leading expert in weight management, disordered eating, and sports nutrition. Her clients have included professional sports teams, Fortune 500 corporations, and entertainment-industry associations. Diana's passion for helping others heal from disordered eating arose out of her own eating disorder, the roots of which she has traced to eating ice cream at the age of four while her mother was dying from lung cancer. In the last few weeks of her life, Diana's mother could no longer talk, and sharing ice cream was their unspoken way of bonding during their remaining time together. It was not until Diana studied eating disorders in order to heal from her own that she discovered the connection between her love for ice cream and the loss of her mother, the key to her healing her eating disorder and helping others.
