Summary

The Inside Scoop on Eating Disorder Recovery is a fresh, smart, how-to book that helps people with eating disorders to heal their relationship with food, their bodies, and ultimately themselves。

Written from the perspective of two eating disorder therapists, both of whom are recovered from their own eating disorders, the text uses humor, personal narratives, and research-proven techniques to offer specific actionable guidelines on how to reclaim one's life from an eating disorder。 The authors explain the difference between dieting and eating disorders, break down the stages of recovery, and provide tips on how to thrive in each stage。 The book provides powerful myth-busting on topics that have historically not been addressed in eating disorder recovery books, such as clean eating and orthorexia, exercising in recovery, and fat positivity。 Tangible exercises at the end of each chapter provide readers with advice and tips on implementing this approach to recovery in their day-to-day lives。

The humorous and down-to-earth tone of the book creates an authentic and genuine feel that leaves those who struggle with chronic dieting, eating disorders, and negative body image feeling connected and heard。

At only ~150 pages and touching on everything from eating disorder categorization, early recovery, HAES, IE, movement, body image, etc。, this is a high-level and reader-friendly introduction to recovering from any level of disordered eating or chronic dieting。 This would be a good starting place for anyone who hasn’t already delved into the other in-depth books like Heath at Every Size, Anti-Diet, and Intuitive Eating, which are all referenced in this book。 It could be good for friends and famil At only ~150 pages and touching on everything from eating disorder categorization, early recovery, HAES, IE, movement, body image, etc。, this is a high-level and reader-friendly introduction to recovering from any level of disordered eating or chronic dieting。 This would be a good starting place for anyone who hasn’t already delved into the other in-depth books like Heath at Every Size, Anti-Diet, and Intuitive Eating, which are all referenced in this book。 It could be good for friends and family too, since it introduces the most important points without delving into so much detail。 。。。more

Early in this important book by Colleen Reichmann and Jennifer Rollin, the authors cite a study which claims, “up to 75% of women have some sort of disordered eating。” If that estimate is true—and I am convinced it is--than most of us are struggling with food issues ourselves or we know someone who is。 My conclusion from reading this book is that we all need the wisdom, encouragement, and practical advice given by these two experts。 I expected a book on eating disorders to be dry, serious, and r Early in this important book by Colleen Reichmann and Jennifer Rollin, the authors cite a study which claims, “up to 75% of women have some sort of disordered eating。” If that estimate is true—and I am convinced it is--than most of us are struggling with food issues ourselves or we know someone who is。 My conclusion from reading this book is that we all need the wisdom, encouragement, and practical advice given by these two experts。 I expected a book on eating disorders to be dry, serious, and research based。 Instead, I found a book that shares research in a breezy tone along with the authors’ compelling personal narratives。 The authors also share techniques they practice as mental health professionals to help people suffering from eating disorders find healing and peace。 In a world where many cannot afford treatment in a clinical setting, this book will bring trusted therapeutic practices home to them。How I wish this book could have been there to help our family when my sister was struggling with eating disorders, but I’m grateful that it will help other people who are striving to reach and maintain recovery。 I believe that this is a book that will save lives。 。。。more
