Teaser Tuesdays (Aug.21)

August 21, 2012

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My Teasers:

“You will be able to take note of your fullness and respect the presence of that signal, although you may find that you often eat beyond the fullness mark. Just like when an archer takes aim at a new target, it often requires shooting many arrows before learning how to reach the bull’s eye.”

~ p.37, “Intuitive Eating” (3rd edition) by Evelyn Tribole & Elyse Resch

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your ‘teasers’ in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks! :D

    Kim @ Book Munchies

  21. That sounds like an interesting read! Here’s My Teaser Tuesday. Happy Reading!

  22. Hi MizB,

    Great choice of teaser lines this week. That single short paragraph really does sum it all up for most of us, but I know that I for one, usually just choose to ignore the signs. I am not generally one for diet books, but sound advice really shouldn’t be ignored I guess!!

    Hereis my teaser for this week:

    Happy reading.

  55. Happy Tuesday!! I’ve been adding a bit more to my teasers to give y’all a deeper “sneak peek..”

    Stop by for a look into Something Strange and Deadly @ Realms of an Open Mind :)

  56. This sounds like a book that helps you realize things you should already know, but sometimes as we’re sucked in by this diet and that, we all need reminders of what makes sense. Here’s Mine

    • That’s basically EXACTLY what this book is about — common sense, and being reminded that we all have it within us to eat this way. It is NOT another diet. Just a way to go back to eating the way we were designed to eat.

  57. Thanks for your teaser Miz!

    My teaser this week is from Inbetween by Tara Fuller with some information on how to join her Street Team!

  58. Vanessa @ Bookborne permalink

    Sounds like a book full of good advice!

    CarolynBrown-Books

  61. You mean we should only eat when we feel hungry? lol

    http://wildheartbookblogs.blogspot.com/2012/08/memes-teaser-tuesdays-1-arise.html

  68. Sometimes it just hard to stop even when you see food in the plate. You’re taught not waste food and even though you reach the point of fullness, you continue eating. Such and interesting teaser!
    Here is mine: booksandswoons.blogspot.com/2012/08/teaser-tuesday-5.html?m=0

    My TT

  70. And some of us choose to ignore those signals when there is a chocolate cake staring at you after eating dinner … that would be me :)

    Here’s mine: http://fiktishuhs.blogspot.com/2012/08/tuesday-teasers-reason-is-you.html

    Here’s my teaser:
    http://morosebookshelf.blogspot.com/2012/08/teaser-tuesdays_21.html

  73. Oh, that’s me alright. When I’m nervous I eatt like the world’s going to end… LOL

    http://notjustnonsense.blogspot.com/2012/08/teaser-tuesday-34.html

  74. I could definitely use some advice on bettering my eating habits! Maybe I should read this one =P. Thanks for sharing, here’s my teaser for this week from The Iron King by Julie Kagawa: http://owl-read-it.blogspot.ca/2012/08/teaser-tuesday-25.html

  75. Sounds like great advice!! Also an interesting concept. Thanks for sharing :)

  80. kaye permalink

    I’m sure the author is right. I’m teasing from the new release by Shannon Hale, “Palace of Stone” kaye—the road goes ever ever on

  81. That teaser makes me think I’d just be annoyed by the weird metaphors in that book. :P

    Here’s my teaser, from Quarantine by John Smolens: http://thetoweringpile.blogspot.ca/2012/08/teaser-tuesday-quarantine.html

  82. My teaser this week is from Chloe Neill’s newest Chicagoland Vampires novel, Biting Cold! =)
    http://trh87books.blogspot.ca/2012/08/teaser-tuesdays.html

  83. I’m actually not interested in losing weight, I love to cook, and eat, I try very hard to make it a nutritious diet, and if the pounds don’t fall off, so be it. When I feed my mother in the nursing home, she’s now eating mush, I think of how she loved to cook and bake and what wonderful times we had around the dining table and during meal preparations and now I’m keeping her alive on mush that tastes awful.

  88. I really love this meme!! Thanks for the teaser… Here’s mine:

    http://jstanotherstory.blogspot.ca/2012/08/teaser-tuesday-27.html

    Here’s mine from The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson:

    http://daydreamertowriter.blogspot.ca/2012/08/the-name-of-star.html
