How to Fat-Proof Your Relationship
Author Offers Novel Ways to Rekindle Desire with Recipes for a Love Diet
Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) February 4, 2005 -- When ninety extra pounds reduced her own desire for intimacy, and seriously affected her own sense of self-worth, causing her to avoid relationships and hide in her own self-made prison of fat, author Edita Kaye decided to fight and get back the love she had blocked.
I decided that it was time to lose the fat and let in the love I was missing," Kaye explains. I wrote The Diet a story about a woman, Cate, who also found herself overweight, unhappy, unloved and unable to love. I decided that it was time to replace the fat with love," says Kaye. There are so many studies that show how fat can reduce feelings of love for oneself and others and block the warmth of human intimacy we all crave so very much." (The Diet. Wave Books. $24.95. www.dietnovel.com)
The Diet follows Cate through her tragic and destructive weight gain, the loss of everything she ever loved, and finally to the discovery of the secret that rewards her with health, slenderness and the love she craves. Packed with recipes, inspiration, and a way of eating that removes guilt and brings back pleasure, The Diet is a novel of food, faith, and love.
3 Ways to Lose for Love
1. Enjoy a bedtime snack. Cate discovers that a bedtime snack of lean turkey can help reduce her cravings and soothe her into a restful nights sleep.
2. Switch from morning orange juice to a morning orange. Cate discovers that by substituting a fresh orange she is adding a healthy non-calorie carb to her daily food plan and making it easier to feel full and satisfied with less snacking.
3. Have dessert for breakfast. Cate discovers that by turning her first meal of the day into a fun and tasty meal she is less likely to crave foods that are filled with empty calories.
