SAUSALITO, Calif. - Feb. 3, 2020 - For over 25 years, nutrition researcher Deborah Kesten, MPH and behavioral scientist Larry Scherwitz, PhD have conducted research showing that food has a powerful influence on physical, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being and in turn, overeating, overweight, and obesity. Their new book, Whole Person Integrative Eating: A Breakthrough Dietary Lifestyle to Treat the Root Causes of Overeating, Overweight, and Obesity—with a foreword by Dean Ornish, MD and published by White River Press—shows how overeating and overweight may be halted, even reversed, by the Whole Person Integrative Eating® dietary lifestyle.

"If people follow the revolutionary program outlined in this game-changing, insightful book, it may be the most helpful step they can take toward losing weight and keeping it off," says bestselling author Kenneth Pelletier, MD, clinical professor of medicine at University of California School of Medicine, San Francisco.

Divided into three parts, Whole Person Integrative Eating begins by describing seven root causes of overeating: Emotional Eating, Food Fretting, Fast Foodism, Sensory Disregard, Task Snacking, Unappetizing Atmosphere, and Solo Dining. It then offers the "What's Your Overeating Style? Self-Assessment Quiz," a 76-item questionnaire that helps readers identify their unique food choices and eating behaviors that lead to overeating and weight gain.

Part Two provides a step-by-step guide to the science-packed antidotes for each overeating style. It also explains why the elements of the WPIE dietary lifestyle work and how they can be incorporated into daily living. Part Three offers over 30 WPIE-based, international, optimal-eating recipes. The WPIE focus: fresh, whole, "inverse eating" recipes that are mostly plant-based foods with lesser—or no—portions of animal-based foods.

Whole Person Integrative Eating concludes with an Epilogue that shares Kesten and Scherwitz' thoughts about how to reshape the obesity crisis in America.
