Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 hello fellow RD's I started seeing this new client who reports is a " stress eater " - has lots of cravings and has tried a variety of programs from Overeaters Annonymous, Food Addicts annonymous, all sorts of diets etc and still has not been able to make healthy long term changes to her habits. I don't have much experience w eating disorders but from what she told me those groups were more like cults and from them she has become even more obsessed with food and eating. I'd love to help her, however I am not sure in which approach to take- is there a book or article you recommend? Has any of you heard of Kay Sheppard? (my client mentioned her name a few times) Thanks a lot Sandy Cortez, RD CFT Nutrition fitness and wellness Consultant @ Strive New rd4health@...

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 For this type of client who has tried this diet and that food plan I would really recommend Geneen Roth's work. She deals with emotional eating and more of the non-diet approach to weight control. It is much like an eating disorder in that focusing on the food avoids her addressing the other issues in her life. I would really suggest she enter counseling to look at the whole picture and discover what it is she is trying to cover up with her overeating. I have had clients keep food journals with information about their feelings/emotions during stress eating that has been helpful - however if that makes the client more obsess with food then that would not be a good idea.
