Format:Paperback
I disreguarded this book at first - a quick flick through the pages in my local bookstore put me off initially. However, a few months later I realised that it actually was the book I had been looking for.
As someone who has 'binged' on foods in the past I found the advice about how to move on invaluable. I realised that I was not ready for the book when I first saw it simply because the theory was quite challenging - that is, 'give up your trigger foods' - the foods that start you off on a binge. In my case the trigger was chocolate and THERE WAS NO WAY I WANTED TO GIVE IT UP!
However, after months of getting nowhere on periods of normal eating followed by chocolate inspired binges I changed my tune. The book preaches sensible, good advice. After having followed the pointers I must admit that giving up chocolate was not a hardship for me as it's not forever and the theory behind the book is that you can eat EVERYTHING else. Foods that don't trigger you off on a binge are acceptible, even if they are fatty - like crisps for example. This is because you can control how much you eat of them easily as they don't trigger overeating for you.
Try this is you have tried everything else - and still failed! Lee Janoglys approach is friendly and understanding. Some of the case studies and pointers really made me blush because they were so like things I'd said in the past. For example, "I'll start my diet again on Monday."
Read this - I believe it will put you on track for success at last.

The writer knows binging behaviour inside out and leaves the reader absolutely nowhere to hide. However the book is also warm, funny and ultimately very supportive, focusing on ridiculing and so eliminating feelings of guilt and powerlessness. I like the way it contains no recipes and only limited nutritional guidance on the basis that bingers already know all this stuff - at last some appreciation of our skills!
I have been following the principles for about 8 weeks, dipping back into the book occasionally as a reminder. I have lost weight and perhaps more importantly have also lost my cravings - I cannot overemphasise how liberating this is after so many years of feeling controlled by them. I would highly recommend this book to bingers. One comment though - one of my trigger foods is alcohol, and giving this up has been particularly challenging because it perturbs other people in social situations. In the book Lee Janogly doesn't talk about the particularly intense social pressure that exists around drinking, or the relationship between alcohol and binge eating, and I think this is an omission. Otherwise, full marks.

This is an excellent book for anyone who simply can't stick to diets. It is not a diet book which simply claims that it is all down to willpower nor is it a jargon-filled psychology book. Lee Janogly looks at the causes of overeating and illustrates her arguments with lots of case studies. This is a very readable book and is full of sensible advice. It guides you through the process of changing your eating habits and Lee Janogly is always very encouraging.

A different sort of diet plan
The idea behind this book is remarkably simplistic- cut out the food(s) that trigger a binge and you won't binge anymore. Read more
