Thank you to Netgalley and Cambridge University Press for providing me with an ARC of The Picky Eater's Recovery Book: Overcoming Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder。This self-help book provides some nice information about Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder （ARFID） and a lot of tips and worksheets to overcome it。 I do not have ARFID myself so I cannot judge how effective these tips and worksheets are。 However， I do think that for individuals with ARFID， especially adults， this book Thank you to Netgalley and Cambridge University Press for providing me with an ARC of The Picky Eater's Recovery Book: Overcoming Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder。This self-help book provides some nice information about Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder （ARFID） and a lot of tips and worksheets to overcome it。 I do not have ARFID myself so I cannot judge how effective these tips and worksheets are。 However， I do think that for individuals with ARFID， especially adults， this book might be a great help。 A lot of literature and self-help books surrounding ARFID and picky eaters are focused on children so it's nice that the authors chose to create a self-help book for adults with ARFID who face different challenges， for example， difficult social situations surrounding food （eating in a restaurant， on a date or with family）。 Personally， I learnt a lot about ARFID in the first couple of chapters。 I was not familiar with this eating disorder at all so I am glad that I got to learn about it。 These chapters might be nice to give to loved ones so they can understand the person with ARFID better。 。。。more

This is a really useful book， even if you don’t have AFRID。 My favorite bit of advice was picking five new food items per week and trying them out， and I figured I could try that， or even just one and try cooking it different ways。 However， and I’m sure this is no fault of Cambridge University Press， but there were so many formatting issues that it was nearly impossible to read the advance copy I got through NetGalley that I had to give up reading。 I still got some useful information from the bo This is a really useful book， even if you don’t have AFRID。 My favorite bit of advice was picking five new food items per week and trying them out， and I figured I could try that， or even just one and try cooking it different ways。 However， and I’m sure this is no fault of Cambridge University Press， but there were so many formatting issues that it was nearly impossible to read the advance copy I got through NetGalley that I had to give up reading。 I still got some useful information from the book， but wow， it was frustrating。 。。。more

I just want to say thank you to the publishers of this book。 This book is written for adults who have ARFID。 I read this book to try and help my 14 year old son。 Although he has never been officially diagnosed he definitely has this eating disorder。 His eating issues started when he was an infant。 Doctors had no idea what was wrong with him。 At that time ARFID was not a diagnosed disorder that people knew about。 I felt so alone and could not understand why my son would not eat。 I had one doctor I just want to say thank you to the publishers of this book。 This book is written for adults who have ARFID。 I read this book to try and help my 14 year old son。 Although he has never been officially diagnosed he definitely has this eating disorder。 His eating issues started when he was an infant。 Doctors had no idea what was wrong with him。 At that time ARFID was not a diagnosed disorder that people knew about。 I felt so alone and could not understand why my son would not eat。 I had one doctor tell me to just let him starve for 3 days and eventually he would eat。 After trying for years and working with many different health professionals he still only eats 10 foods。 What I really liked about this book is they broke down the disorder and gave examples of real people who have struggled and gone through treatment。 One of the profiles was almost identical to my son。 The strategies they suggested are very similar to ones I have heard over the years but what the book gave me was some hope。 It really broke it down as to how one could go about conquering their fear and how to approach food which is exactly what my son needs。 I also like how in the book gave follow up advice for when you have gone through the steps。 I just found this book very informative and helpful。 This is not a disorder that is going to be cleared up in one day。 It takes time but this book gave some great advice and strategies。 I received this book through NetGalley to review and I will be purchasing this book when it is published。 There were many charts and worksheets to help you but I could not access them on the ebook copy I was given。 I definitely think that a hard copy would be much more beneficial。 I am hoping that this book will help guide my son and be helpful to him throughout his life so that this disorder will not isolate him and rule him in the future。 Thank you so much to NetGalley and Cambridge University Press for the advanced copy。 。。。more
