Guest guest Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 do any of you know any men that do IE? i know the book is very careful to have both male and female examples, but at the same time, even just the word " intuitive " sounds female. I have a male friend who has been heavy his whole life and a few months ago, committed to cutting out sweets and exercising every single day. I feel bad because I have a sense this is doomed to failure. I don't know him well enough to suggest IE, and i'd probably feel silly anyway since I've only gained weight so far. but I do believe in the process. it's really too bad, kind of " reverse sexism " so to speak -- men seem not to be encouraged to look at the emotional issues behind dieting and eating, they're just supposed to tough it out at the gym. but of course the issues are different, it's more acceptable for men to be fat, etc. thea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
