Praise for The Rules of “Normal” Eating

“A touching, hopeful, helpful, and validating book with great humor and wide appeal. Our culture has become pleasure seeking and pain-avoidant to the extent that we will often do anything to avoid experiencing emotional discomfort. This book is a reminder that only good can come out of an exploration of learning to endure, understand and resolve our emotional pain. This book is the light at the end of the tunnel that replaces the light at the back of the fridge.”
       –Nina Martin, BSN, MSW, CSW, community mental health director and former director of a hospital inpatient eating disorders unit

“Reading this book is like talking to a wise and patient friend who knows all about the anguish of a lifelong love/hate affair with food. With humor and compassion, Koenig gently but firmly guides readers to reaching the elusive goal of becoming a ‘normal’ eater.”
      –Emily Fox-Kales, Ph.D., psychologist and founder of Feeding Ourselves

“Koenig outlines the skills essential to recovery from disordered eating in a breezy, personal style that is easy to follow. Her practical guide to releasing disordered eating behaviors and distorted belief systems is delivered with humor, warmth, compassion, and understanding. This book is a gift for those seeking change and personal transformation.”
      –Anita Johnson, author of Eating in the Light of the Moon

“Written in clear, concise language with practical suggestions for anyone seeking a sane approach to food and weight, as well as learning how to nourish mind, body, and spirit. A dynamite book!
      –Judith Ruskay Rabinor, PhD., author of A Starving Madness

“Provides a roadmap with step-by-step directions to normal eating. The chapter on self-care without using food is superb.”
      –Diane Keddy, registered dietitian

“At last! A step-by-step guide for developing a healthy relationship with food and fulfilling our basic need for daily nourishment as nature intended. At a time when food fads and obesity are a national obsession, this book provides clear and practical steps to end the confusion about ‘eating right.’”
      –Rita Freedman, Ph.D., author of Bodylove
