Am I Hungry? What to Do When Diets Don't Work (Paperback) Review

I never really had any serious weight issues.But at one point in my life, as a short 5'4" guy, I hit the scale at 155 lbs. and thought that I was slowly digging my own grave with a spoon and fork.So, I started to read books about diets and nutrition; but with the plethora of diet programs and the apparent high incidence of failed dieters, I just decided to go on my own and follow a very simple rule: when eating, just listen to your stomach.Basically the rule translated to: eat when you are hungry, stop when you think you have consumed enough to last you for the next scheduled meal, eat only to the point that the stomach "does not stretch" so that it gets used to only being filled with less, and enjoy every bite like it's the last.There were times I broke my rules, and learned valuable lessons in the process, but in less than 4 months I dropped to 115 lbs.Not only that, I was shocked to find out how little food our body actually needs if we just consume food based on our physiological needs.Lots of my acquaintances have always asked me how I did it and how I have been able to maintain my weight for years.And to my increasing annoyance, until I found "Am I Hungry?" at Amazon, I have to lengthily explain and "defend" my eating habits.

This book has really made everything easy for me. Now, every time people ask me about tips on weight loss or dieting, I point them to this book. Everything, and a lot more, is explained in "Am I Hungry?"

This book is a real treasure.It is light reading but heavily loaded with wisdom.No smoke and mirrors. No cheering. Just lots of plain common sense.Basically, it teaches about total eating awareness.From the book's lessons, one re-learns the basic principle that eating correctly is about feeding the body in the most mindful way.And the right way to eat is to be satisfied for the right reasons.One realizes that the most reliable cues of when to eat this and/or that kind of food are not found in the bookstore or the popular opinions of a bestselling diet guru.It is within each of us.Eating right is about having the clearest communication with our body. It is about enjoying food, and not about being constrained by some diet prescriptions.Sensible eating requires no willpower at all, just plain consciousness.Above all, this book teaches eating skills.And from the skills, the student reigns supreme again in making a decision of what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat, ... based on the right reasons why one has to eat in the first place.This book is highly recommended.
