As Christians and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints we are told that our body is a temple. The father of all lies and the headmaster of diet culture doesn’t have a body. Satan is clever and cunning and will do anything he can to get us to feel bad about ours. He deceives us into believing that we must restrict and adhere to rigorous rules regarding food and exercise to be happy in our skin. This is false. It is harmful and leads to a tumultuous relationship with food. Often, religion gets entangled in how we eat. But food has no moral value.

As you progress through this beautifully designed e-book your eyes will be opened to Satan’s hold over diet culture. You will discover how Intuitive Eating aligns with the Word of Wisdom. You will begin to recognize your body for what it is, a gift from our loving Heavenly Father. It doesn’t mean that you will completely love your body. Nor will you be free from trials that humans experience within our bodies. But you will notice that it was designed to provide you with cues in how to take care of it. And that treating your body like a temple has nothing to do with how it looks.

There are four chapters with real-life applications towards healing (aka homework). It takes you through each of the 10 principles of Intuitive Eating and how to make it work for you. It is full of quotes and scriptures as well as scientific research to expand your beliefs in what whole health looks like.

distorted,

insensitive,
