"A much-needed guide for adults on how to tackle an eating disorder and rebuild a healthy relationship with food
For many people, thinking about food is just one small part of their day. But for those struggling with an eating disorder (ED), these thoughts take over and leave them desperately asking, 'How can I eat normally again?'
Dietitians Wendy Sterling and Casey Crosbie have the answer: the Plate-by-Plate Approach®, a no-numbers, visual method that teaches readers how to restore their relationship with food using only a ten-inch plate. This approach works across all eating disorder diagnoses—in conjunction with medical and psychological treatment—and helps individuals break free from the physical and psychological traps of an eating disorder, learn how to plate meals and snacks without measuring or counting, heal their relationship with their body and repair their body image, eat flexibly, paving the way to intuitive eating and a renewed sense of joy around food."
"Help your child eat normally again.
Parents are the first to know when their child starts behaving differently. Has your son stopped eating his favorite food, or does he refuse to eat out with friends? Has your daughter drastically increased her exercise regimen or become obsessed with health foods? These are among the telltale signs that your child, like millions of others, may have an eating disorder (ED).
In this essential guide, registered dietitians Casey Crosbie and Wendy Sterling introduce an all-new strategy you can use to help your child at home. The plate-by-plate approach is rooted in family-based treatment—the leading psychological therapy for EDs. Unlike complicated “exchange” systems, this is simple: Crosbie and Sterling coach you through every aspect of meeting your child’s nutritional needs, using just one tool—a ten-inch plate.
Paired with therapy, this intuitive, visual method is the best way to support your child on the path to recovery. Plus, the authors cover how to talk about diet and weight, what to do while traveling, what to expect from your child’s doctor, and much more."
