Story
From the beginning, Geneen Roth was told she was too sensitive, too emotional, too curious, too demanding, too intense, and too big. Yet gaining and losing weight for decades did not improve her self-worth or reduce other people's criticisms. Like most women who struggle with their weight, she believed that if she could resolve what seemed to be the source of her self-hatred - how and what she ate - she would be thin, happy, and free. That belief, she discovered, was false.

Story
Sixty-eight percent of Americans have dieted at some point in their lives. But upwards of 90 percent of people who intentionally lose weight gain it back within five years. And as many as 66 percent of people who embark on weight-loss efforts end up gaining more weight than they lost. If dieting is so clearly ineffective, why are we so obsessed with it? The culprit is diet culture, a system of beliefs that equates thinness to health and moral virtue, promotes weight loss as a means of attaining higher status, and demonizes certain ways of eating while elevating others.

> Intuitive Eating is the go-to book on rebuilding a healthy body image and making peace with food. We’ve all been there - angry with ourselves for overeating, for our lack of willpower, for failing at yet another diet. But the problem isn’t us; it’s that dieting, with its strict rules, keeps us from listening to our bodies. Written by two prominent nutritionists, Intuitive Eating will teach you how to reject diet mentality forever; how our three eating "personalities" define our eating difficulties; how to find satisfaction in your eating; and much, much more.

Dr. Habib Sadeghi provides a compassionately based, scientifically sound approach to the missing ingredient in the weight-loss recipe: self-love. You’ll learn that real self-love is far more than an ethereal concept. It’s a tangible evolutionary force that will create changes in your life that can only be described as miraculous. You’ll discover the exciting emerging science of epigenetics and that fat is not all in the family. You’ve never been doomed by your genes and have far more control over your weight than you ever realized.

In these and other stories Alice Munro's understanding of the people about whom she writes makes their lives as real as our own.

self help magic for eaters
by reminding myself of the 6 rules, and the little stories she shares, I was able to finally feel like I was in control of my mindless and emotional eating. It's a gem!

Like being a part of one of her lectures
I would have to disagree with the criticisms about Geneen Roth's delivery. I think she is trying to give listeners an experience similar to her workshops. She is talking as she does when she is delivering a lecture or leading a workshop. She is not telling a story, she is giving advice and offering solutions. She isn't reading her words, she is delivering her message. I really liked her style.

I get it this time!
I have been struggling with my weight since I was 9 yrs old. I have binged and dieted on an off for over 40 years. If you have a problem with binging, or emotional eating, this is a must read for you. I have been working with a weight loss program for a couple of years now and it just wasn't working anymore. This program is what I needed. Geneen's voice is kind and passionate. She is like an old friend who really cares about you and takes your hand to show you the way.

Great New Meditation Series
Her program has worked so well for me after years as a yoyo-dieter, always hungry, always wanting, always overweight, always on a new diet.
Our bodies DO talk to us (well, not if you are waiting for an actual vocal chorded 'Hi, this is your body!" They are very good at telling us when to eat, when we are full, and what to eat -- what our bodies are craving. We never listen! This program gets you in touch with that and does so in a compassionate non-judgemental way. I dropped to a comfortable 130 and stayed there for years, not straying (maybe up or down a pound or two) and eating whatever I wanted but only when i was hungry -- not to be social, not because I was bored, not because my boyfriend dumped me (okay maybe ice cream then . . . but I KNEW what I was doing and so it didn't go on for more than a night.) I went from always wanting all the forbidden foods to allowing myself to have them but only when i craved them, which frankly, became less and less as I listened to my body. My body actually craves many things I was not aware I liked -- eggs, cantaloup (hated cuz it was a diet food) and salads! It doesn't feel good on diet sodas (actually gives me headaches), or some types of sugars (corn syrup gives me a stomachache.)
Also, this is not about any one kind of eating issue, despite what some have said. It works just as well for the yoyo-dieter as it does for the anorexic. I have done the program for years and it is amazing.
I have to say that those who wrote about her voice? WHAAAAA? I expected some crazy voice. She is well-modulated and just fine. Inducts a bit of a meditative atmosphere.
Buying the ones I have already read to share with our family and buying the new one too. I recommend!

The real deal.
Where does When Food is Food & Love is Love rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Being a "self-help" book I expected little of it, compared to the audiobook novels I have listened to and loved. Surprisingly this listen filled me with peace and eagerness to keep listeninh every day.
Geneen Roth is very professional and she definitely knows what she is talking about. An audio read by the author, in this case, makes it so special that I even went online to find out morfe about her and her work
What was one of the most memorable moments of When Food is Food & Love is Love?
The guided meditations were my favorite part.
Which character – as performed by Geneen Roth – was your favorite?
The "super ego". She made me laugh.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, I wanted to save it it it wouldn't run out! I wanted it to be a part of my life, long term!
Any additional comments?
I bought ALL other Gennen Roth audiobooks and I even started listening to this one for a second round.

A Little Hokey - But Some Good Principles
I found the book very much like a new-agey therapy session - and a bit hokey in parts. But there are some good principles in there. Personally I liked her book 'Breaking free from emotional eating' much better. However if you can get over the new-agey stuff, the book is quite good.

Good and true
I was really amazed at first I never taught I would like it but as I continued the book became better and so true. My only comment is not good when driving cause she is always asking you to meditate as close your eyes and I can't while driving now that was frustrating .

Good information
A prior reviewer used the term shrill, but that doesn't quite encapsulate this voice. Roth's delivery needs to get off the valium and get back on the amphetamines.
The unnatural pauses mid-sentance is what got me talking back to her saying, SPIT IT OUT... it seems like she's meandering without aim and not sure of her next word.
While I dont think of this as a wasted credit because the information is good, but it once again proves these authors egos have to get out of the equation when it comes to a PROFESSIONAL reading.

Good, but grating
While there's some good information here, it's almost completely overwhelmed by Roth's grating delivery. Her voice is shrill, and when she gets excited or emphasizes a point, she screeches. I wish I'd saved my money and just bought the hard copy of the book.
