Book Review of -- Binge
Eating: The Ultimate Guide To Overcome Food Addiction by George K.
My overall star rating
--- 3
About the book:
In "The Ultimate
Guide To Overcome Food Addiction, Overeating And Binge Eating", you will
learn specific step-by-step strategies to help you to overcome any Craving or
urge to Overeat or Binge eat. While many books will tell you not to eat certain
foods and give you strategies to help you stop consuming them, they only deal
with symptoms and not the root cause. The source of binge eating or food
addiction can be a variety of factors, such as having certain emotions trigger
a binge (like being depressed, sad, bored, or tired), or it could be a
deficiency in certain nutrients, or it could be just a pattern that you've
conditioned in the past.

The review --
This wasn't a bad
overview of an attempt to give advice on food addiction (overeating), and is
not a bad read either. It's all pretty much common sense, though, and there is
little here that anyone with a modicum of that (rare I admit nowadays), will
necessarily find useful. There are some interesting points made, particularly
on eating the right foods that make you feel full (something I admit I never
really considered). However, unless I missed it, there is nothing on the
importance of seeing your doctor before you begin any sort of program like
this. Visualization (or positive
re-enforcement, whatever they call it today) is one of the points mentioned for
motivating you to eat better. While I know Scott Adams had a lot of success
with it, that's almost too new age-y to include in a primer like
this. I like the pictures of the
dogs at the end of the book. The formatting is a bit lacking. As I've said
before, it's readable, but it's in a block paragraph format, with extremely
small line spaces between paragraphs. I read this on a Kindle Fire and it was
hard to discern at times where paragraphs ended, making it seem a page of text.
Probably not. I dislike authors, particularly self-help authors, who use such
moronic pseudonyms, like "George K.". If this is a workable system,
use your real name, man!
