"Stop Your Cravings"
by Jennifer Workman M.S., R.D., C.Y.T and
Simon & Schuster (2003)
Complementary medicine nutritionist and Ayurveda instructor Jennifer Workman's new and sensible approach to dieting has
helped countless people to understand and work with their natural cravings to achieve and maintain their ideal weight.
As the first Western nutritionist to make the ancient Ayurvedic principles practical and applicable, Workman explains
why certain foods, including simple spices and culinary herbs like cinnamon, cocoa, cardamom, turmeric, cumin, basil,
ginger, and wasabi can have a beneficial effect on weight-loss efforts, digestion, and health. In Stop Your Cravings
Workman shows how eating the right combination of foods and flavors for certain body types and lifestyles, along with
yoga and exercise, can diminish cravings to the point that food is no longer an issue of stress and worry.
Using a weight-loss and management program enlightened by the basic principles of
Ayurveda, the five-thousand-year-old
Eastern medical system, Workman guides readers in restoring the body's natural balance to improve overall health. By
understanding the basic components of Ayurveda, which Workman introduces through simple examples, charts, and a
self-test, readers will learn how their food choices (even the ones they thought were "healthy") can exacerbate health
problems, including gastrointestinal disturbances, chronic fatigue,
fibromyalgia, weight gain, arthritis, acne,
headaches, menopausal symptoms, and PMS.
Most experts now agree that not everyone should eat the same thing or do the same type of activity because each person's
metabolism and genetic makeup are different. Using the Stop Your Cravings self-test, readers can identify their own body
and personality type and learn to understand what their body needs and how it responds to food, to the weather, and to
everyday events in their lives. The Balanced Approach is a personalized nutrition/eating program of "clean" proteins,
"good" fats, and non-gluten carbohydrates that emphasizes the sensuality of spices and flavors that add taste without
adding calories.
A wise and sustainable program that improves health and longevity, Stop Your Cravings is ahead of the curve as more and
more of us turn to holistic approaches to living.

Here is a book that brings together, in a holistic, plain-language and helpful way, a truly useful body of knowledge.
It's all the information one needs to put an end to the adversarial relationship so many of us have with our food.
Thank you, Jennifer!

Lack of willpower is not the cause of many individuals' weight loss failures; improper dietary approaches that send
faulty signals to the brain are. Now there is light at the end of the tunnel. Workman has artistically blended the
time-tested Ayurvedic nutritional principles and the latest Western scientific discoveries to help you achieve permanent
weight loss along with optimal health.
