What if I told you that your best life, the one God created for you, rarely includes your ideal body? As a registered dietitian, a woman, and a bonafide Christian, I believe one of Satan’s most significant accomplishments in the Western World is creating the skinny smokescreen. This smokescreen is a cultural cloud that blinds women of their real call and purpose with unrealistic views of health and happiness. Enjoy Good Health is a call for you to stop dieting and start nourishing and loving your body as much as God loves it. This book provides you an invitation to explore your relationship with food and self-image through scripture and journaling questions. The explore activities are an opportunity to get real with the root causes of your binges, dieting cycles, and self-loathing.
Enjoy Good Health offers a better, more natural, richly fulfilling way to live and feed the only vessel you get in this lifetime. Chances are you have allowed your thoughts and feelings around food and body-image to cloud your higher purpose that your Creator intended for you. You can't be all in for God's vision for your life if you can't take your eyes and mind off a mirror or a scale. In these pages, you will learn to partner with Christians’ ultimate helper, the Holy Spirit, and begin the journey of making peace with your secular version of health, and start to piece together an individualized wellness vision. Believers strive to live a life for Jesus, and it is time Christians start eating for Him too.
Enjoy Good Health has one purpose, to shift your focus to eat with Jesus in mind and not for the world's standards. To understand foundational principles within God's Word that apply to all areas of life, but can also help you mend your relationship with food. At this point in my dietetics career, I'm less worried about what you are eating, and more concerned with why you are eating it. It is time to take food and body-image off the idol pedestal and put it back where God intends it. I'm here to challenge your need for a different body and help you free yourself from rigid food rules and decades of worldly doctrine that don’t serve your health, or higher purpose and continues to rob you of joy for life. The goal is with God’s help, to mature enough in your relationship with food and self-image to realize your best, healthiest life has nothing to do with the shape of your body.

To Control Your Weight and Improve Your Health
Mind Over Fork offers a holistic approach to health and wellness that focuses on nutritional advice, mindful meditation, and behavior modification. As a registered dietitian, Rebecca provides credible, yet practical information that goes beyond the plate to something more profound and more lasting.
Unlike other diet programs, this book uses the mind as an access point to correctly identify what is holding the individual back and releasing unprocessed emotions towards food. This release helps people get unstuck in their health rut, increase their self-confidence, and achieve greater success in attaining the healthy lifestyle they deserve. The process laid out in the book will provide a lasting investment in self-development that goes beyond pounds on the scale.
The mind-centered approach propels people out of stagnation and into action, ready to conquer the fork with five food strategies rooted in time-tested nutrition science and Rebecca’s personal experience. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be daunting or mentally draining with counting calories, stressing over grams and ounces; it’s just not necessary. In fact, that mindset leads countless individuals to give up on the hope of maintaining a nutritious eating plan. You don’t have to control every eating circumstance, but you can approach every meal in a balanced way.
As one reads Mind Over Fork, they’ll find themselves being opened up to new possibilities, gaining clarity and the self-confidence to manifest a new healthier reality. Anyone who applies the techniques outlined in the book will transform their relationship with food and achieve greater well-being and overall satisfaction.
