The Overfed Head: What If Everything You Know About Weight Loss Is Wrong? (Paperback) Review

I just finished reading the Overfed Head for the second time and I liked it even better the second time. I initially read the book in the context of my struggle with weight, the second reading was to assess the book as a resource for a psychotherapy client. The book reads well and the content is sound. On a personal level I felt the author was telling me the very thing I could never understand about my naturally thin friends. I knew they ate what they wanted and they seemed satified. I could not figure out how they experenced that satisfaction. I am now having that satisfied feeling with each experience of eating. It does require practice but what a joy to practice enjoying food!

On a professional level I will utilize this book with clients. The reason why I feel it is appropiate to use is the information is sound and seems to be based on a blend of positive psychology and cognitive theray principles. I work from a psychodynamic frame however, I find this quite compatable with the work I am doing. The author promotes being curious about ourselves, mindfulness and avoids transfering the responsibility for our bodies to anyone other than ourselves. The hunger and satisfaction tool is excellent. The author also alerts the reader to the positive but sometimes frightning side benefit of having the emotional issues we have been "feeding" present themselves for more direct and helpfull attention.

I guess I should have said I am a Clinical Nurse Specialist in psychiatry with 30+ years of experience.

This is a must read if you or someone you care about is struggling with weight control.
