Binge Breaker!(TM): Stop Out-of-Control Eating and Lose Weight (Paperback) Review

I have read several books on the subject, searching for a way to break free of this. The problem is that many books adopt one of two approaches: either one designed for bulimics, which I am not, or a view that food is an addiction and certain foods must be avoided for life.
This book takes a sensible and, most importantly, very doable approach - it doesn't ask you to monitor in written form, which can be quite a chore, but rather works on making you aware of your eating style and then overhauling it. Gradually, eating is normalized and the former binge foods are introduced - without leading to binges for me!! - so that your relationship with food slowly gravitates towards being "normal".
All in all, a great read, the one book that changed my life!

Making Peace With Food: Freeing Yourself from the Diet/Weight Obsession [Paperback] Review

After years of learning negative behaviors around food, and years of an unhealthy relationship with food, I found a book that challenged my ideas about food and weight. I read a review on this book that mentioned how upset they were about this book telling you that it is ok to gain weight. Well, what this book really says is that we all come in different shapes and sizes and that is ok. Maybe it is not healthy to be the weight that we desire? I loved this book because it helped me to learn that food is no longer my God or my enemy. It taught me that it is ok to eat.

Conquer Your Food Addiction : The Ehrlich 8-Step Program for Permanent Weight Loss [Paperback] Review

Ms. Ehrlich (who has no credentials I have been able to discover) begins by promising that her program is not a diet, and that you can still eat anything you want. She goes on to essentially equate bread with dessert, and forbid sandwiches outright, along with anything else eaten with the hands. There does not seem to be any recognition that different people have a problem with different types of food or eating situations. Despite her claim that this is not a diet, much of the book is taken up by her meal plans.

With revolting illustrations and such recommendations as wearing tight clothes and tightening the belt before eating, she takes an aversive approach to food and eating in general. There is also a lot of focus on weight. "If you really want to weigh ___ pounds" is repeated as a mantra. Ehrlich prescribes an obsessive habit of twice-daily weighing, going so far as to insist that if the reader were serious about weight loss, he or she would pack a bathroom scale on trips. A person with a compulsive eating problem probably already has plenty of self-loathing, and it seems like some of these strategies could really backfire.

There IS some good advice in here--like the importance of recognizing small successes rather than focusing on failures--but not nearly enough attention to the behavioral aspects of compulsive eating.

Conquer Your Food Addiction is not a diet book.
But if you're committed to losing weight, it's the right book for you!
Nobody can cajole, trick, or provoke you into shedding those excess pounds. But if you are genuinely ready to go for it, Caryl Ehrlich is here to lead the way with her 8-step program for permanent weight loss. The perfect solution for people who are overweight -- many of whom are compulsive eaters -- Ehrlich's is a behavioral approach to weight loss that teaches you how to change habits in order to overcome food addiction. As she observes, no deprivation diet will work for food addicts, because they use food the way other addicts use drugs or alcohol: not to satisfy physical hunger but to distract oneself from painful feelings -- loneliness, anger, boredom, sadness -- with a never-ending conveyor belt of food.
A former compulsive eater herself, Ehrlich developed this easy-to-understand program for herself more than twenty-five years ago and has taught it to others, with astounding results, for more than two decades. With the help of Conquer Your Food Addiction you will:

- Learn how to distinguish physical hunger from emotional hunger
- Become aware of your unconscious, ritualized eating habits
- Develop the skills necessary to approach food differently
- Change your behavior in order to change your body
- Awaken to an improved, realistic relationship with food
Using original concepts and easy assignments, Ehrlich's proven 8-step program retrains your thought process so that you can begin to see food in a new and healthy way. Once you do, you'll be amazed at how the pounds come off!
