Not a Workbook... Mostly a Cookbook
I love the idea of intuitive eating. We would all be so much better off—physically and mentally—if we normalized our relationship with food and eating… especially those of us who are overweight or binge or emotional eaters. When I saw this book at a book review site, I loved the idea of a workbook for intuitive eating. Unfortunately—as I often see in “workbooks” put out by self-pubbed authors—this is not really a workbook at all. In fact, it is more of an introduction to the concepts of healthy eating with a task list and recipes with lots of fruits and vegetables. The intro with the task list takes up a whopping 20 pages of the 99-page PDF ARC copy I received. As you might guess, this means the author provided little information in the introductory section. Indeed, a few sections were only a paragraph or two long. For instance, the section on the very important intuitive eating topic of physical hunger is just a paragraph long!
Thankfully, the recipes as a whole do not conform to any one popular diet—though you will find keto, vegetarian, and Mediterranean diet recipes scattered throughout. The recipes are broadly divided into six chapters: breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, desserts, and drinks (mostly teas). The recipes do have some “picky detail” issues. Recipes often mix metric and Imperial measures, which is not so easy for the metric-challenged American cook. Recipes with multiple parts—like a Greek pita with meatballs, salad, and tzatziki sauce—have separate ingredient lists for each part but don’t make a distinction between the sub-recipes in the directions. So, you have to guess where the directions for one recipe part start and stop—and the first direction may not be for the first ingredient-list sub-recipe. This can be figured out quickly, most of the time, really, but it definitely helps to have the visual distinction between recipe parts in both the ingredient list and the directions. Finally, another self-pubbed cookbook pet peeve of mine, the ingredient lists were rarely in the order in which they are used in the recipes.
I actually think intuitive eating would be a fantastic topic for a real workbook, where you could explore your relationship with food through guided exercises and journal prompts. Too bad that is not the “workbook” the author gave us!
I received a free copy of this "workbook," but that did not affect my review.

Wonderful book that helps to connect the person with their own body and well-being. The author teaches, in a clear and friendly way, to listen to oneself and to self-regulate, which is the best way to live a healthy, full life in harmony with one's environment, circumstances and nutritional possibilities.

Deceiving Title
I should have read reviews before I read this. I had just read Intuitive Eating and knew there was a workbook. I thought this was it. It wasn’t. If it would have been an unauthorized workbook, I wouldn’t have minded much. Instead, it was a summary of Intuitive Eating (which, to be fair, is a good summary), and a cookbook. There was no workbook feature. There are no tables where you write in your own information as you explore intuitive eating. It gives you activity ideas, very very briefly, that I suspect are summaries of the activities in the official workbook. I just thought this title was deceiving.

I am giving this 4 stars because the recipes look divine, but it is really more of a book than a workbook. This book had really good information about intuitive eating on paces 6-20, but pages 21-96 were all recipes. The exercises were very helpful and wold have been well complimented with an area to document progress toward the exercise or experience with the exercise. Great recipes and I look forward to trying more of them, but the ratio of workbook to recipes makes for a misleading title

This book helped me in a number of unexpected ways, and it encouraged me to develop new perspectives on food and allowed me to heal my relationship with food. Today, I'm recovering and living a life without the pain, embarrassment, and remorse that once troubled me. I am forever thankful that I have discovered this book that changed my life, and I hope it can help those who are struggling with it now.

Throw away the diets and use your own awareness of your hunger and denying foods you enjoy. Eat in moderation till you're full and not beyond. Includes recipes for food and drink. Recommended read.

A nice intro to the concept of intuitive eating but it is mostly a list of recipes after a few pages of an explanation of what IE is. I thought it was a good first step but it’s less of a workbook than I was hoping for.
