" If you've ever struggled with finding a way to a deep, happy, and
healthy connection with your body and food, The Slow Down Diet is
your bible."
*Mark Hyman, M.D., director of Cleveland Clinic Center for
Functional Medicine and author of the #1 N*
“Marc David is a master of transformation. He helps us see the
underlying reasons why we eat the way we do and lovingly helps us
move through the behaviors that don’t serve us. In a world of fad
diets and insane trends, Marc’s teachings are timeless, relevant,
and effective. Slow down and enjoy a book that’ll change your
life.”
*Pedram Shojai, OMD, filmmaker and founder of Well.Org*
“Finally, a diet book that works! The Slow Down Diet by Marc David
is a classic. It is a book that will take you from where you are to
where you want to be. A must read for anyone looking to achieve a
higher health potential.”
*Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, author of The Power of Self-Healing and
Media Healthy Living Expert*
“The Slow Down Diet is a metabolic masterpiece integrating body,
mind, and spiritual wisdom like only Marc David can do! An
inspiring read for all those interested in nourishing a healthy,
loving, and peaceful relationship with food.”
*Kathie Madonna Swift, M.S., RDN, LDN, FAND, and coauthor of The
Swift Diet: 4 Weeks to Mend the Bell*
“Rushed, mindless eating creates weight-loss resistance. The Slow
Down Diet provides an easy-to-apply, work-anywhere, 8-week plan
that helps you relax, reduce stress, and savor every mouthful while
burning fat and optimizing health.”
*J. J. Virgin, nutritionist and author of the bestselling JJ
Virgin’s Sugar Impact Diet*
The Slow Down Diet: Eating for Pleasure, Energy & Weight Loss takes
the opposite approach. “The dizzying pace at which our culture
propels itself is contrary to a happy and healthy life,” writes
Marc David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating.
“When moving through life too fast we inevitably eat too fast,
which destroys our metabolism and creates digestive upset.” The
tenth anniversary edition of The Slow Down Diet is designed to help
the reader “stop fighting food and start embracing it,” not by
supplying a series of recipes but instead by presenting ways to
recalibrate your metabolism based on such concepts as relaxation,
awareness, rhythm and pleasure. The idea, says David, is to
“empower yourself to explore your unique relationship to food, to
let go of fear and guilt, and to be with your body in a dignified
and loving way.”
*Lisa James, Energy Times, December 2015*
“The Slow Down Diet provides us with the missing link about
metabolism that sets us free to enjoy food more than ever while
also losing weight and getting healthy. Thank you, thank you, Marc
David.”
*Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Mother-Daughter Wisdom:
Understanding the Crucial Link Between*
