Allen Carr's Easy Way to Quit Emotional Eating: Set yourself free from binge-eating and comfort-eating (Allen Carr's Easyway, 29)

Product Information

He was successful in this aim and describes the subsequent training he received from both Allen and Robin Hayley, now Chairman of Allen Carr's Easyway, as one of the best experiences of his life, and feels honoured and privileged to have counted Allen not only as his coach and a mentor, but also a friend. It provides strategies and insights to break free from the cycle of emotional eating and develop a healthier relationship with food. Rather than struggle against yourself, recognize the deeper truth: you lose nothing of value by breaking this addiction. He realized that he had discovered what the world had been waiting for, the easy way to stop smoking, and embarked on a mission to help cure the world’s smokers. My only negative feedback really is that I think I would have preferred a man to narrate it, and just because (this maybe strange) I wanted to feel more like the author talking to me about his experiences as this this would make it more effective in my head, rather than me being aware that it was diluted but this second person reading his words.

By following the method’s clear instructions, you can quit emotional eating without willpower or sacrifice. The moment you see the deception of fake food and how it gives you nothing: not a single benefit and, in the same breath, understand that you never lost your power, your eating issues are over. There is only really one message in this book: “you have been brainwashed to think junk food is pleasurable, but it isn’t, so stop eating it and you’ll feel better”. This might not sound especially surprising, until you realise that I have never smoked a cigarette in my life. This book talks you through the reasons we overeat, the ridiculous excuses we make (mainly to ourselves) for gorging on rubbish food and how to put a stop to all of it without relying on willpower, which never works.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. In other words, behaviors that traditionally benefit us have inbuilt satiety mechanisms to prevent us from overindulging – leading us to engage in a range of activities that are benefit our survival. Consumption may thus continue until the very physical upper constraints are forced into play (vomiting or passing out with alcohol or a stomach stretched to maximum capacity in the case of deceptive food). In traditional situations where pleasure is felt, the ‘pleasure’ is replaced with satisfaction and then disinterest, as the benefit that the action delivers is received.

If you don’t know Allen Carr, his book “Easy Way to Stop Smoking” is an international best seller and his method of stopping smoking is famous. Another fundamental part of it is to allow oneself to feel real hunger, and then satisfying that hunger, instead of eating for other reasons - letting body needs trigger the action and not other feelings or habit. But as the pages went on, it became clearer that the book was more so a regurgitation of what Carr had written previously, with just pieces of the language changed.Some of the collected data includes the number of visitors, their source, and the pages they visit anonymously.

With Allen Carr's Easyway method, you can eat as much of your favorite foods as you want, whenever you want, as often as you want, and be the exact weight you want to be, without dieting, special exercise, using willpower or feeling deprived. Wouldn’t think twice about polishing off a packet of 6 chocolate bars, chips (crisps), bread+++in one setting and I would still feel hungry. But the moment you see that repeatedly consuming fake food is not your escape from pain, but rather the primary cause of your pain, there is an easy, straight forward way to escape and the solution is easy. After absorbing the Allen Carr method, almost all readers stop cold turkey, with no willpower required.Fed up with the old boys' network and complacent attitude, he took a completely different direction, starting a property development business, initially with a friend and later striking out on his own with his wife, Joyce. I stopped smoking with his method and you can definitely use the same thinking for other addictions.
