Experts in eating disorders and RET team up to provide this comprehensive self-help guide to overcoming eating disturbance. General information about body weight and eating problems including evolutionary and biological bases, health facts, and common misconceptions are initially provided. Pros and cons of popular diets are also discussed. Using RET philosophy, irrational beliefs leading to disturbed eating and poor body image are identified. Specifically, authors show how low frustration tolerance, awfulizing, and global rating can exacerbate unhealthy eating habits. Authors show how people with disturbed eating can work hard to challenge irrational beliefs that lead to self-defeating eating. From general unhealthy eating patterns to severe eating disorders such as Anorexia and Bulimia Nervosa, techniques are taught to help anyone struggling with weight and/or eating difficulties. Recognizing that bad habits are hard to break, the authors provide techniques spanning across cognitive, emotive, and behavioral domains to give a broad set of tools to encourage rational eating.
