Those who started out with a book/workbook - what should be the very first one?
TLDR at the end!
Hi! After years of struggling with eating and my relationship with food, I want to look deeper into IE. I have known about it for some time and I have superficial knowledge about the topic, but nothing in depth.
I have reached a point where I essentially don’t know how to eat in a day. I am able to get together some breakfast and occasionally cook for me and my partner. I have some basic idea how to put together a fulfilling meal that will provide me the energy I need for the day.
So given that I have been laid off of work, quit nicotine pouches and have been changing my lifestyle in general, I want to dive deeper in my relationship with food.
I really want to have some physical tool to deal with this, something “official” if that makes sense. I am looking into books from E. Resh, specifically the workbook and Intuitive Eating, 4th edition. Both are quite pricey for me, though.
I am not sure what to dive into. Get the book and have a proper grasp of the EI before starting a workbook? Or buy the workbook and rely on the superficial knowledge I already have? Or it is best to buy them together and use the knowledge-how in a combination?
I don’t want to discourage myself, whether by buying a material where the information is too basic, or whether by the material being too difficult to comprehend.
What would you recommend to start with? What did you start with, and would you do it again/would you go about it differently? I appreciate any perspective.
Thanks a lot!
TLDR; I don’t know what is the best physical book/workbook/journal to buy when starting with EI as someone with superficial knowledge. What would you recommend?
