  1. Heal Your Relationship with Food: 2020 by Juliet Rosewall (Author), Amy Chisholm (Author), Maureen Moerbeck (Author)

This book provided effective strategies to help you think differently with eating, emotions and body image. Often I find this is my most recommended book to my patients I see who are truly wanting to improve their relationship with food. The approaches I find are simple to follow and make you think about where your relationship with food started to turn negatively.

  1. Overcoming Binge Eating: 2013 by Christopher G. Fairburn (Author) 

This book was recommended to me by a Clinical Psychiatrist, written by a Psychiatrist. It features expanded coverage of body image issues and enhanced strategies for achieving and maintaining a transformed relationship with food and your body. Something I often get told is that when a person receives input for a diagnosed eating disorder such as binge eating disorder, they continue to struggle with their body image. I’ll soon write a series of posts around body image recovery and body neutrality. 

  1. Just Eat It: 2019 by Laura Thomas (Author)

This book was the first book I read on the principles of intuitive eating and it all made sense. The clarity I got from this book when I first came across it was overwhelming and I have been continuing my learning ever since to support individuals in never having to do ‘another restrictive diet’ unnecessarily again. It’s also pretty and pink with a donut on the cover. 

  1. Orthorexia: When Healthy Eating Goes Bad: 2017 by Renee McGregor (Author), Bee Wilson (Foreword) 

Written by a Specialist Eating Disorder Dietitian, Renee McGregor this is an excellent, short book going into the details of how our pursuit of ‘clean eating’ or following a ‘healthy diet’ can go very wrong. 

  1. Is Butter a Carb?: Unpicking Fact from Fiction in a World of Nutrition: 2019 by Rosie Saunt (Author), Helen West (Author)

Often having too much nutrition knowledge for a person within a cycle of disordered eating can be detrimental. The cycle continues and we don’t see a break on how to escape our minds from having a ‘perfect diet’ all the time. This book debunks the myths and provides us with clear and evidence-based nutrition knowledge. 

6. Food Therapy by Pixie Turner

In depth discussions into ‘How does food make you feel?’ If it’s a source of guilt, shame or punishment, have you every stopped to ask why?
