A local registered dietitian/nutritionist who has been teaching about nutrition for more than forty-five years, Berman-Levine knows all about food obsessions and the challenges in making the best choices. She’s ready to help you to do the same with her fun, interactive workbook called Can You Be Alone with a Bowl of Chocolate? Strengthening Healthy Food Choices.

Review: Tools, tips, resources. oh. my! As dietitians, it seems like we are always on the lookout for new ways to reach, connect and help our clients achieve a healthy relationship with food while helping them create a base of lifestyle skills in an effective way. 

I am always excited when I learn about a new resource to help with this endeavor. This book got me very excited about adding a new resource to my nutrition counseling toolkit. This practical and positive book is an invaluable resource to anyone wanting to gain insights, skills and tools to help reframe how a person looks at, behaves with, and thinks about food. Not only that, this book is great for anyone who wants to help others (eg. clients) gain insights, skills and tools to help reframe how they (clients) look at, behave with and think about food. I realize that is a bold statement, but it is accurate. The author created a resource that not only provides a lot of information that she has gleaned from 40+ years working in nutrition counseling. 

The author crafted a book that is very practical, which really could be called a book/workbook. There are myriad topics covered along with prompts for the reader to apply the topias, complemented by insights and comments that are offered by the author that give an extra dimension. These author's comments actually serve (in my opinion) as a voice of a companion. "This dimension is an added element that provides some candid perspectives from someone "in the business" of nutrition with a very personal angle that allows the readers to feel as if the author is on the journey with them.

This is very effective and unique.
