Product Description

Review

Praise for STOP BINGEING! '...a compelling air of authenticity... no recipes and no "nutribabble", just a sensitive and sensible blueprint...that could free you for good of the misery of binge eating.' Sunday Times Style Magazine 'The only diet book that works is Stop Bingeing by Lee Janogly which, apart from being hysterically funny, puts the responsibility squarely on the person who puts food in her mouth. I've recommended this to five of my friends and we've all lost more than a stone and, more importantly, kept it off.' Letter from a reader in The Daily Mail


Product Description

Do all your dieting attempts end in failure? Do you ever intend to eat one biscuit but actually polish off the packet? Does your weight vary enormously depending on how 'good' you've been? If this sounds like you, it won't for much longer! Take control of your eating habits with Lee Janogly and break free from the binge-diet-crave-binge cycle. The reason why diets don't work for so many people is that they are actually binge eaters. This means that they can diet reasonably successfully until they get a taste of one of their trigger foods, whereupon they lose all self-control and eat as much food as they can physically cram in. The result is that a binger will be on a permanent see-saw of weight loss and weight gain, accompanied by varying degrees of guilt, anger, depression and frustration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Common sense for those who left theirs in a chocolate bar, 14 Jun 2004
This is an amazing book. I have read so many diet books that is a relief to finally find one that makes complete sense and not only that is genuinely funny.

The book reminded me quite a bit of the Ultimate Weight Loss Solution by Dr Philip McGraw and much of the advice is quite similar but said in quite a different way. I don't know if it is a cultural thing but when Dr Phil said his book wasn't a diet but a way of life but it sure looked like a diet to me. Lee pretty much says the same thing but I understand her completely and she has comebacks for any excuse you can think of along the way to stop reading and grab some chocolate.

Lee uses lots of humour and concentrates on eliminating sugar as the cause of most women's weight problems (this was certainly the case for me) but it was the revolutionary way in which she approaches the matter that make this a must have book for someone trying to break out of their overeating cycle.

Basically she is quite straight forward and says there is one person to blame if you have a weight problem and that is you as you are the only one putting food in your mouth so the choice is yours so you can keep eating the high-fat high-sugar foods or you can be slim. Unfortunately you can't do both (no matter what anyone says). While reading the book I must admit to squirming a lot. I like to blame other things (work, study, mother, boss, and the moon) for why I must eat numerous chocolate bars while no one is looking but now I can accept the truth.

Lee gives some general guidance as to what you should be eating but there are no recipes or strict diets to follow. As a bonus the bright pink cover makes the book look like a standard chick-lit novel so you can read it on the train, bus or tube and not feel embarrassed for reading a diet book in public.

I have only just started the living slim lifestyle - not a diet-and I hope that this will allow me to get off the overeat, gain weight, diet lose weight seesaw forever after all as Lee says - I might like chocolate but it doesn't like me very much!

5.0 out of 5 stars Overcoming My Demons, 13 Jul 2004
I bought this trip while I was vacationing in London, and I think that trip will be the best thing to ever happen to me. Whenever I heard about bingers, it was only when refering to bulimia ("they binge and throw up") so I didn't even consider the possibility that I myself am a binger. Reading this book made me open my mind. One bag of kettle corn was never enough. It's one of the most humiliating thing going to the store and buying licorice, smarties, Oreos, and oh, yes, a diet coke. Lee is straightforward, and doesn't try to make you feel like it's not your fault like other diet books, because it is. But she also is clear to say that it is beatable, and you will be able to overcome your binging, and understands that you will slip up sometime, and tells you how to handle it. Read it, you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars buy this book!, 27 Jul 2004
By A Customer
This is one of the best books i have ever read...as soon as I finished it I started reading it all over again. I (was) a complete sugar addict - kidding myself that sugar wasn't really fattening cos there's no fat in it!! how wrong was I!! The author tells you the physiological processes that occur whenever you ingest sugar - and how bad it is for you - and how the body has no need for it whatsoever. If someone had suggested to me before I read this book to give up sugar and sweets and chocolate I would have said no way. Since reading this book (yesterday!), no sugar has passed my lips and i intend to keep it that way. She explains that after 30 sugar free days all the sugar will be out of your system and you will stop getting cravings. She tells you how to beat the cravings by accepting the reality that if you're going to eat fattening foods you will be fat. It is one of those books that is totally enlightening and you will be quoting bits to your friends cos it is just so true! If you are a binger, a sugar addict, a perma-dieter - or all three - then you need this book!
