With great insight and compassion, Susan Kano not only helps us make peace with food, she helps us love ourselves and our bodies. Hooray!"
authors of Our Bodies, Ourselves
"Read Making Peace With Food to get a more wholesome attitude about eating."
"[Kano] provides long-needed, accurate and scientifically proven information to help her readers counteract common mistaken assumptions regarding weight, dieting, and body image. Making Peace contains the best insights and understanding of 'the dieter's mind set' that I have seen."
"Don't miss Making Peace With Food unless you are completely happy with your body and your eating."
Cambridge University Women's Action Group, England
"I'm a physician, but I read Kano's book because I had suffered through anorexia nervosa and bulimia and was still struggling with chronic food anxiety and dieting. Now I'm finally recovering from my eating disorder rather than only "controlling the symptoms." My weight is stable and I'm eating spontaneously without anxiety. I highly recommend Making Peace With Food."
Brookline, MA
"Making Peace With Food is a terrific resource… We are using it in our groups and classes."
Anorexia Nervosa & Related Eating Disorders
"Making Peace With Food has enabled me to accept my body for what it truly is—healthy, strong and lively. I feel tremendously relieved now that I have let go of my obsession to be thin and can enjoy, rather than be haunted by, food and eating."
"Having counseled many young women who struggle with diet and weight, I highly recommend Making Peace With Food. The road to freedom from chronic dieting and associated eating disorders is not an easy one, but Kano's book provides precisely the kind of information and encouragement that is needed."
