How to Nourish Yourself Through an Eating Disorder
Recovery for Adults with the Plate-by-Plate Approach®
by Casey Crosbie and Wendy Sterling
 

Overcome your eating disorder and repair your relationship with food, starting today

If you struggle with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, or another form of disordered eating, the path to normal eating may seem impossible. This is why Wendy Sterling and Casey Crosbie created the Plate-by-Plate Approach®: a simple, numberless, exchange-free program to restore your relationship with food. In this practical, easy-to-use guide—complete with sample plates, example schedules, and helpful tracking logs—they teach you to take control of your nutrition with nothing more than a 10-inch plate.

  • Learn to use the Plate-by-Plate Approach® at home.
  • Understand common patterns and behaviors to restore your relationship with food.
  • Adapt the Plate-by-Plate Approach® to your own dietary and cultural needs.
  • Overcome common barriers on your journey to healthy eating.

How to Nourish Yourself Through an Eating Disorder transforms the challenging path to recovery, simplifying your treatment plan and providing a straightforward, intuitive, tried-and-true method for a better life.
