About the book
Most of us know that diets don’t work.
Unlike traditional diets built around rules and restrictions, Whole Person Integrative Eating® (WPIE) is a science-backed dietary lifestyle that identifies the reasons so many of us overeat and gain weight—then offers their antidotes: the 7 pillars of WPIE that lead to eating less and weighing less.
Without dieting.
In our research, behavioral scientist and coauthor Larry Scherwitz, PhD, and I identified what we call today’s 7 new-normal overeating styles—each strongly linked to overeating, and 5 of the 7 to being overweight or obese.
Participants in our study who replaced their overeating styles with the 7 pillars of WPIE ate less and weighed less.
The result: a dietary lifestyle that provides a path to eating less, weighing less, and enhancing health. One meal at a time.
Not a diet, a most-of-the-time way of eating
✓ Feel-good eating—no calorie counting, deprivation, or quick fixes.
✓ Science-backed—research published in peer-reviewed journals.
✓ Addresses root reasons you overeat—not only what you eat,
but how and why.
✓ A lifetime way of eating—not a diet you go on, then off.
