Synopsis:
Bestselling author and nutritionist Debra Waterhouse, whose revolutionary "Outsmarting the Female
Fat Cell" has helped millions lose weight permanently, now addresses the most profound
psychological influences on a woman's eating patterns: their mothers.
In her newest book, Debra Waterhouse - a nationally respected expert on the unique difficulties
women face in losing weight and eating healthily - cuts right to the emotional root of unhealthy
eating, helping mothers and daughters break free from the vicious cycle and learn wholesome, sane
eating practices. She gives solid advice on how to break these unhealthy patterns.
Customer Comment:
Donna@3ships.com (Donna Amato-Salvacion) , June 1997, rating = 8 out of 10:
Very Inspiring - "variety, moderation and balance".
If there is one thing, but there were many, that I got from this book is that the Love of food and
dining my mother has shared with me is healthy. For the rest of the women who are in the a constant
state of "diet" Ms. Waterhouse explains that you need only trust you own body to find its balance.
Very Zen!
