8 keys to end emotional eating

8 keys to end emotional eating

Howard Farkas

Book - 2019

"In this book, Howard Farkas argues that repeated unwanted eating is driven by a natural desire to control your own choices in life. This creates a conflict between one side of you that wants to be told how you should eat, and another that wants you to make your own choices. This conflict leads you to go from one extreme to the other, creating an ongoing cycle of disordered eating. Farkas explains this process and offers practical skills to help you break the cycle and develop a lasting, positive relationship with food."--Page 4 of cover.

Review by Library Journal Review

While diet advice typically aims at identifying triggers and strengthening self-restraint, clinical health psychologist Farkas contends that emotional eating is primarily owing to the rejection of the control necessitated by dieting--a desire to "be bad." Farkas seeks to help readers change their mind-sets about dieting through the use of his eight keys, which include breaking the diet mentality, resolving inner conflict, and upgrading coping mechanisms. VERDICT Farkas's angle of eating for defiance will touch a nerve but will also offer help to instill a constructive response in many overeaters seeking ways to get to the core of the behavior.
