Shelley MD, wellness director, First Choice Community Healthcare, Albuquerque, NM Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat with Diabetes will be beneficial to anyone with a diagnosis of diabetes or insulin resistance (prediabetes). Often, these diagnoses come with dietary rules that set many into a restrictive mindset that not only takes all the joy away from eating, but could actually send them into a restrict-binge cycle with carbohydrates. This book presents a rational program to manage diabetes without anxiety. One can truly make peace with food, eating, weight, and activity. -- Reba Sloan, MPH, LRD, FAED, licensed registered dietitian in Nashville, TN If you re committed to changing your relationship with food but nothing you've tried before has stuck, look here. Michelle May and Megrette Fletcher take you on a guided tour of mindful eating. You'll begin to taste your food again and enjoy it more while being satisfied with less. -- Riva Greenberg, author of 50 Diabetes Myths That Can Ruin Your Life and The ABCs Of Loving Yourself With Diabetes Michelle May and Megrette Fletcher have produced a brilliantly clear resource for stopping the downward spiral. What a truly compassionate, humanistic, mindfulness-powered manual for fearless instinctive eating! -- Pavel Somov, PhD, author of Eating the Moment and Reinventing the Meal Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat with Diabetes is a refreshing and compassionate approach to managing diabetes that uses mindfulness to empower the patient.

Mindful eating provides a new path to truly enjoying eating and food without struggle or guilt. The book provides the foundation for eating mindfully woven together with Megrette Fletcher s wisdom as a dietitian. -- Jean Kristeller, PhD, developer of Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training and cofounder of The Center for Mindful Eating Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat with Diabetes is a revolutionary approach to eating for people working with the challenges of diabetes. This book helps transform those challenges into adventures of exploration and discovery. Too often, diabetes treatment makes people feel overwhelmed and locked in by rigid dietary restrictions. When eating is persistently flavored with anxiety, people lose track of the natural pleasure and joy of eating. This very readable book has many helpful hints and exercises to help guide people with diabetes back to a sense of balance and ease with food and eating. I enthusiastically endorse it for those with diabetes and their families.--Jan Bays MD, author Mindful Eating These authors present a compassionate, healing approach for all those who manage diabetes on a daily basis.
