Intuitive Eating is not a diet or food plan. Essentially, Intuitive Eating is a personal process of honoring health by listening and responding to the direct messages of the body in order to meet your physical and psychological needs. The principles work by either cultivating or removing obstacles to body awareness, a process known as interoceptive awareness. Intuitive Eating is a dynamic integration between mind and body. It’s thrilling to see all the research and gives me great hope. It is a weight-neutral model with a validated assessment scale and over 90 studies to date (Tribole 2017). Intuitive Eating is an evidenced-based, mind-body health approach, comprised of 10 Principles and created by two dietitians, Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch in 1995. So I thought I would address are a couple of key take-away points about what Intuitive Eating is and is not. But it’s also frustrating to see the co-opting of our work by diet culture in social media and beyond. It’s exciting to see Intuitive Eating growing in popularity both in the media and in the research.

When twelve-year-old Farah and her two best friends get sucked into a mechanical board game called The Gauntlet of Blood and Sand-a puzzle game akin to a large Rubik’s cube-they know it’s up to them to defeat the game’s diabolical architect in order to save themselves and those who are trapped inside, including her baby brother Ahmed.

Comedian, musician, and actor Craig Robinson transitions his flair for humor from the screen to the page in his authorial debut. Initial reviews were mixed, but it is now seen widely as her best work and one of the great English novels. Eliot began writing the two pieces that formed the novel in 1869–1870 and completed it in 1871. It looks at medicine of the time and reactionary views in a settled community facing unwelcome change. Despite comic elements, Middlemarch uses realism to encompass historical events: the 1832 Reform Act, early railways, and the accession of King William IV. Issues include the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism, self-interest, religion, hypocrisy, political reform, and education. Set in Middlemarch, a fictional English Midland town, in 1829 to 1832, it follows distinct, intersecting stories with many characters. It first appeared in eight installments (volumes) in 18. Middlemarch, A Study of Provincial Life is a novel by the English author Mary Anne Evans, who wrote as George Eliot. Middlemarch, A Study of Provincial Life at Wikisource When he meets his bride, O-lan, on their wedding day in the opulent House of Hwang where she’s enslaved, he is sorry to see her feet are unbound. The Good Earth follows Wang Lung from his marriage until he is near death. There are no clear dates for the novel’s events, but it’s assumed that the uprising in the South is the 1911 Revolution in Shanghai. Note: you do not need a prior understanding of Chinese history (though it couldn’t hurt) as the novel provides ample context to understand differences between urban and rural areas in China. The writing is clear (if repetitive), and the characters are compelling (if cardboard). Perhaps Buck stumbled into a foolproof story that could not be derailed by errors in execution. I procrastinated with this review, because I was at a loss to describe how I ever became so invested in such flat characters whose struggles were portrayed via bland language. I’m stating up front that I’m rating it 4.5 (out of 5), because some of this review will sound harsh. While the win is well deserved (the novel is impossible to put down), The Good Earth is lacking in places. Buck’s The Good Earth snagged the Pulitzer in 1932, one year after it was published. Very few people believed the rudimentary raft could make a 4000-mile voyage across the high seas. (Photo: Kon-Tiki Museum Facebook page) Not for his choice of shipmates, but for his intention to cross the Pacific Ocean en route to Polynesia -a journey of 4,300 miles- on a raft made from balsa wood. When he set sail in April of 1947 from Callao, Peru, with one Swede, four fellow Norwegians, and a parrot, many called him crazy. Thor Heyerdahl was a real-life Indiana Jones. While he had proved resoundingly that such a feat was possible he was never able to convince the scientific establishment of his theory that Polynesia and Easter Island were first populated by sailors from South America. The Kon-Tiki's successful 4300-mile voyage made Heyerdahl a global celebrity but his real goal would prove more elusive. When Norwegian adventurer and ethnographer Thor Heyerdahl set sail from Peru on a makeshift wooden raft very few people gave him any chance of reaching Polynesia.
