Rethink Nutrition

My Favorite Non-Diet Resources

The majority of the nutrition information circulating on the internet and in books is rooted in diet culture and, as I’m sure you’re tired of me saying by now, diets don’t work!

So, when people are trying to transition into a more normal, sustainable way of eating and taking care of themselves, I’m often asked for good resources to support them on their journey. Here are my favorites!

TO READ

Intuitive Eating (3rd Edition) by Evelyn Tribole, MS, RD and Elyse Resch, MS RD, FADA, CEDRD

The concept of intuitive eating has been around…well, as long as people have been eating. But these two dietitians were the first to really coin the term. The concepts in this book are really the basis of the non-diet approach to eating. It’s easy to understand and goes over some of the research that has been done comparing intuitive eating to diets.

Health At Every Size by Linda Bacon, PhD

Body Respect by Linda Bacon, PhD and Lucy Aphramor, PhD, RD

You would probably never guess this from the majority of the messages we hear about weight but, although higher weight is sometimes associated with chronic disease, it is not the cause. Both of these books are very well researched and evidence-based, while also being easy to understand.

The Anti-Diet Project

A blog on Refinery 29 started in 2013 by Kelsey Miller when she decided to give up dieting and try intuitive eating. She also wrote a memoir entitled Big Girl: How I Gave Up Dieting and Got a Life that gives an incredibly real look into learning intuitive eating and battling the deeply held diet mentality. I will say that the memoir has a fair bit of language in it if that is something that bothers you.

"My experience working with Sydney at Rethink Nutrition was wonderful! She helped me see that consistency and balance are an important part in being healthy, and she taught me how to work towards food freedom. It was easy to be honest about challenges, and I was always met with patience and new solutions to try. There were so many days I wanted to give up on recovery, but her encouragement and advice helped me keep going. If you're struggling but hesitant to see a dietitian, I would suggest Rethink because you deserve the care and support to get better. Sydney is truly amazing at what she does. She's my hero!"

"I rarely leave reviews for anything online, but I have to say that Anna Binder and the team at Rethink Nutrition genuinely changed my life. After suffering from IBS and acid reflux for years, it only took a few months with Anna's treatment for me to be almost completely symptom free. I have so much more knowledge and control over my health now than I ever thought possible - not to mention that I can eat without hardly any restrictions or concerns anymore. Could not recommend enough!"

"In just over a week of working with Anna, I feel great! I no longer feel the need to lay down during the day, my face is clearing up, and I'm no longer feeling bloated by foods that I eat. If I'm feeling this good already, I'm excited to see how much better it gets in the coming weeks."
