Product Description
Product Description
Eating disorders are now accepted as addictions, and like more familiar addictions like alcoholism and drug abuse, they cause pain, suffering and alienation, and can kill. Hundreds of thousands of people become clinically ill through bulimia or anorexia; binge or comfort-eat, burdening themselves with low self-esteem and misery; or, like most women and an increasing number of men, find themselves limited by the fact that they can never eat without feeling guilty. This book explains why food becomes fear for so many people. Real case histories are quoted with no medical jargon, and sufferers are encouraged to understand their feelings in order to control their relationship to food.

I have probably read most of the 'How to lose Weight' books, but this one seemed to stand out. The Title explains the contents obviously - but the content goes into further detail that explains how and why we behave and treat food the way we do. A thought provoking book that I would recommend not only to those unfortunate to suffer from eating disorders, but also for those who go through the diet - give up - put on weight - diet cycle.

Unusually for a diet book this contains very little mention of actual types of food and no recipies. Refreshing that. Instead it asks you to examine why you have issues with food. What makes you abuse food, either by denying yourself it or overeating it. He looks at it from an addiction point of view and makes a lot of very interesting points that will have me thinking for a few days and will hopefully change my relationship with food.
My only problem with it was that a lot of the examples were a little extreme. There was overeating but it was in vast quantities, not adding the extra little bit and gaining weight little by little, it was the people who would order food for three at the drive-through.
