Eating disorders come in all shapes and sizes. No matter where you’re struggling on the spectrum of food behaviors, you are likely stressing yourself out about what the “perfect” answers are to making you feel good in your body again. It’s time to put down those calorie counters and end the trendy weight-loss diets! (Put down the keto shake...drop it!)

Permission To Eat is a practical guide for recovery from eating disorders in college and beyond. The book gives readers specific tools for all genders to break up with their disorder, including action-based worksheets and journal prompts, knowledge of medical complications and what to tell medical professionals, personal stories from the author and others who have been through eating disorders, and most importantly—hope for full recovery.

This book will help you discover how to:

Drop the guilt around eating and create a better relationship with food so that you can get on with the more important things in life.
Know what information to tell health professionals so that you get the best care.
Understand what some complications of your disorder can be, and how to reverse or stop them from happening with actionable tips.
Handle it when your treatment team asks you to cut back on the exercise.
Find peace with food and give yourself permission to eat intuitively.

After reading Permission to Eat, you’ll feel the freedom to eat at any restaurant you want, to pick up any food that looks good, to get to know yourself, and to start loving your body instead of shaming it. Filled with nutritional information and glowing motivational messages, this book is sure to guide you toward trusting your body and taking the first steps toward long-lasting recovery.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Reading this book at four years recovered from my eating disorder was the clarity and practical guidance I needed. At that point in my recovery, I was feeling strong and almost back to normal but not completely solid. This book reminded me that recovery is possible and gave me great tools for when I can feel myself slip into ED habits. I'm very glad to have this book on my shelf."

--Emy Authier, struggled with anorexia

"As someone with personal and professional eating disorder experience, this book is an invaluable resource. It should be required reading in schools, and in the hands of everyone!"

--Brittany Burgunder, struggled with a long-term eating disorder and author of Safety in Numbers

"Permission To Eat is geared toward the college-age student, but applicable to all. It is factual but not preachy. It felt like I was sitting there listening to a peer talk to me about the various issues. I know the readers will find this to be true."

--Dr. Pamela Parker, MD, FACOG, FAAFP, DIMP

Life Changing Perspective - Not Just For College Students!

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book was written with college students in mind who are struggling with disordered eating. HOWEVER, as a non-college student without a diagnosed eating disorder, I found this book to be profoundly life changing. The voice of the book is one of compassion - Libby is very authentic with her own eating disorder experience as well as her experience with clients. It feels very conversational and easy to read. As someone who doesn't read very quickly, I had trouble putting this book down. The information is straight forward, no-nonsense, and backed with research, quotes, and client testimonials.
Whether you're looking for help with disordered eating or not, I strongly recommend this book for an honest perspective on our relationships with food and how to embrace healthy eating habits. This book isn't about restrictions or counting calories or stepping on a scale every day. It's about trusting yourself and creating a sense of awareness that we ALL could use help with. Give it a read. You will be happy you did!

Please grant yourself "Permission to READ" this amazing book!

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2019

As a young woman struggling with a long-standing eating disorder, I found this book extremely helpful in working myself out of ED's control on my life. Libby has a way of explaining difficult subject matter so that it is easy (and enjoyable!!) to understand. Perfect for a busy college student or working professional. Libby's writing makes you feel as though you know her personally, as if she's a good friend guiding you through a difficult situation to find the light at the end of the tunnel. She includes simple assignments/tasks at the end of each chapter that really challenge you to dissect and breakdown your disorder making true recovery possible. She also has great literary and web-based resources littered throughout the text for even more informative material on eating disorders. I highly recommend "Permission to Eat" to anyone struggling with body image and food issues, family members/friends of those struggling, or anyone seeking to understand the complex nature of ED. 5+ stars!!!

Important Read for anyone struggling or who has struggled through an Eating Disorder

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

As both a graduate student in Nutritional Sciences and someone who has struggled with an eating disorder, I can honestly say this book was incredible. For people without a huge background in science, it gives you just enough information without overwhelming you, while also demonstrating the concrete effects that eating disorders can have on your health. And for those who are currently struggling with an ED or who are in recovery from one, the book is not triggering as far as I can tell. It preaches positivity and love for your body paired with genuine suggestions and ways to pull you out of the devastating spiral of an eating disorder.
Anyone who is interested in learning more about eating disorders or about the struggling mindset that those people with EDs do have, I recommend this book for you. It is easy to read, informative, and realistic. I enjoyed it so much. My favorite part of the book was its structure—with bullet point summaries at the end of each chapter AND a journaling task. Keeping a journal while I read was such an important part of the experience and allowed me to grow in learning about myself and my reasons behind my eating disorder, even as a person who is at a stable place in my recovery. Lastly, Libby wrote the book as neutral as possible—not catering to a specific gender, ethnicity, or body shape. This book can be for anyone and should be read by everyone who wants more insight and information about eating disorders and their effects on the human mind and body. Happy reading!

Think a book about eating disorders can't be pleasurable? Think again. Its conversational tone and intimate stories makes this a fast, engaging read. While well-researched, the references quoted within the book do not detract from its readability or accessibility, allowing more of a conversation to unfold between author and reader. Libby takes the reader by the hand for a journey together through the nuances, grey areas and spectrums of our relationships with food, coming to recognize that eating is not simply a matter of hungry or full, good or bad, black or white. Tangible skills and tools offered in each chapter encourage the reader to take the words off the page and put them into practice in real life, building self-efficacy and resilience and fostering self-compassion, trust, and peace. A great read wherever you find yourself in your relationship with food and your body.

My boyfriend picked this book up off my coffee table, and it started some important conversations

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

It's true! I am currently a dietetic intern hoping to continue working with the ED population. When my boyfriend found it on my coffee table, he picked it up and didn't put it down for quite a while. When he did, it was to ask more questions about diet culture, ED prevalence, and the work that I do with clients. These are under-appreciated conversations that we should all have with our friends and family.
I really enjoyed reading Libby's perspective on ED treatment, both with a professional team and through personal exploration. Its relevance extends beyond young adults with EDs; it gives anyone the tools to recognize the negative impacts of diet culture on our well-being, as well as ways to identify disordered eating in ourselves and others. I found that so much of this book matches the philosophy I try to use in ED counseling. Thank you for creating a book that is so accessible to everyone!

Helpful for clinicians, those with disordered eating and friends/family.

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book is a great read for anyone struggling with diet culture, an eating disorder or those who work with eating disorders. I also believe that this book would be helpful for family members or friends of those who struggle with disordered eating, body image issues or exercise addiction. I work with eating disorder clients and found this book educational, easy to read and approachable for myself as well as clients of many ages. I feel confident in recommending this book to clients and have recommended it to many friends. There is even a very helpful section on what to say and not say to someone who has an eating disorder. This book has been such a valuable tool for me to use with client's and family members. Highly recommended!
