Do you eat to comfort yourself or feel secure? Or do you restrict what you eat to feel in control or secure? As a child you may have been rationed in your consumption of sweets, biscuits, and cakes, but when you’re an adult with your own money and your own rules, the rationing ends. I believe that TLCMoTU probably worked on me precisely because it repeats its message over and over, so that by the end I was getting quite tired of reading the same thing again, thinking: yeah, yeah, I know! ... I was raring to get started.
Emotional eating is defined as using food to relieve negative emotions, rather than to relieve hunger. It leads to a complex and unhappy relationship with food, a tendency to overeat and put on weight, accompanied by feelings of helplessness, sluggishness and self-loathing. You may have tried and failed to control your eating by dieting or just willing yourself to stop. What you need is a method that truly understands the multiple psychological, rather than the physical, causes and effects of emotional eating and how to untangle them. Otherwise, I find this audiobook a true eye opener and an honest reveal to the social and commercial brain washing that had been promoted and endorsed by junk food companies. I know I haven't stopped eating just for a long enough time to eat that I'm fully recovered. But hearing this audiobook had muted my inner conflict of wanting to go out of my way to satisfy an unsatisfiable craving for it. This book is astonishingly good. It, and The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing (TLCMoTU), are the only two self-help publications I've ever read that had me nodding "yes" throughout, because everything made sense. Both of them are very positive and practical in their approach. There's no shaming, no platitudes, no vague instructions that are impossible to follow. Unlike Kondo's very repetitive* book (and most of the self-help genre), Carr's is quite concise: I never felt that I was reading the same thing over and over. Repetition, where it was used, clearly served to deepen and reinforce what was being taught -- it was not just a filler to cover up the fact that the authors had nothing much to say. This seems's like it's targeted mainly at people that eat junk food. Which is probably most people. But I guess you can apply this to any situation. It's not a terribly well written book and it seems to go on forever and ever, without getting to the point. It's a simple message and I think it's more about changing your mindset more than anything. Maybe even that age old saying "Fake it till you make it." Strangely I do feel like I got something out of it, but it could have been condensed into a much smaller book. So it's not been a wasted read. I think it's worth taking a look at, even if it read's like an 80's infomercial.
Useful emotional eating articles & news
Some of the advice, I'm throwing out right away, like eat only when hungry. If you have blood sugar issues, ignore that advice. I'm rarely actually hungry, I have to force myself to eat most meals, to keep my blood sugar up, so it's another area, where it's assumed you are a completely healthy individual. Some of the dietary advice is a bit iffy too. Again it's assuming everyone fits into the same mould, which is just clearly not true. You can indulge yourself whenever you feel like it. And the more you indulge yourself, the more you feel like it. Let me tell you something: I did quit smoking 13 years ago with Allen Carr’s easy way. Awsome book I can’t recommend enough.

I am already aware of all of the reasons given for emotional eating and the repercussions and was hoping for something more complex or mind changing than the information given in this book. I felt no revelations or enlightenment. In other words, the material did not seem to strike deep enough to stir any motivation in me that I have not already found in myself from my own learned knowledge of health, sugars, addiction, etc. These are all symptoms of your relationship with stress, pressure, negative emotions, food, eating, appetite, and digestion having become dysfunctional and distorted. With caffeine it started with 1 35p energy drink a day from about age 15-16 then 2 35p energy drinks a day then 1 69p energy drink (500ml) then a 69p and a 35p then 2 monsters then 2 monsters and some coffee later. I wouldn’t even engage with anyone until I’d had my two monsters which I’d down one after the other. This book could possibly be a helpful stepping off point for someone who has never thought about their emotional eating and never before considered that they have a problem until now. I would only be able to recommend this title to someone with basically no knowledge of nutrition, physical or mental health because otherwise the information and arguments just felt repetitive and condescending.Carr argues that the mindset surrounding emotional eating is similar to the deceptive allure of smoking. Just as smokers associate cigarettes with stress relief or relaxation, emotional eaters link certain foods with comfort and satisfaction. However, the book highlights the illusory nature of these connections, emphasizing that the relief provided by the consumption of comfort foods is transient and ultimately leads to further emotional distress. For years I've been hearing good things about The Easy Way to Stop Smoking: Join the Millions Who Have Become Nonsmokers Using the Easyway Method. Years ago I actually gave a copy to a friend, who was able to quit smoking (easily and permanently) after many fruitless prior attempts. I'm so glad I finally decided to see if Allen Carr could help me with my emotional eating problem. I'm grateful to him (and John Dicey, who carries the Easyway torch with dignity and class after Mr. Carr's death). Here's to the rest of our lives... and FREEDOM :)

Die Easy-Way Methode - schon mal davon gehört? Das Buch, nachdem Raucher aufgehört haben zu rauchen. Ganz ohne Verzicht, ganz ohne Mühe. Zu schön um wahr zu sein, oder? Nach diesem Buch sollte das gleiche geschehen mit dem Junkfood und mit dem Frustessen. Man sollte ohne Mühe darauf verzichten können.

Allen Carr's Easyway is the most successful self-help stop-smoking method of all time. It has helped millions of smokers all over the world to quit, and has since been used to treat other addictions such as drinking and gambling. Allen Carr's Easyway method works by unravelling the brainwashing that leads us to desire the very thing that is harming us, meaning that we are freed from the addiction rather than merely restricting our behaviour. It’s a subtle combination of addiction to Bad Sugar, the exercise of control NOT to binge, and the abandonment of control, meaning you succumb to the impulse to binge.
