Allen Carr's Easy Way to Quit Emotional Eating: Set Yourself Free from Binge-Eating and Comfort-Eating: 17

Product Information

Hmm let me tell you why this method won’t work: you can get hooked simply to the act of overeating by itself, not only On junk food. The author keeps repeating again and again that once you eat whole food you get satisfied and no longer desire eating past fullness or for emotional reason, it’s not true. I can totally binge on bananas, nuts, omelets etc... So I found it very hard to visualize myself in this method because every time I had to replace the word « junk food » by overeating or junk addiction by « overeating addiction.. it didn’t work. I don’t have a « little monster » crying for sugar, it cries even for carrots or apples so what mindset should I adopt in this case Sir Richard Branson? Der Ansatz des Buchs ist ganz klar: ermitteln warum man immer wieder zu Junkfood greift, damit aufhören und sich andere schöne Dinge gönnen. In Kapiteln wird erklärt, warum man so isst wie man isst, und wie man Angewohnheiten ändern kann. Ich konnte einige gute Beispiele lesen, sehr gute Überlegungen, nachvollziehbare Gedanken. Mir hat das Buch bis zur Mitte sehr gut gefallen und mich auch animiert, meine Essgewohnheiten zu überdenken. Danach bin ich mit eingen Überlegungen nicht einverstanden, die ich ich aus Spoilergründe nicht nennen kann. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA.

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. 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.

So, I'm not sure if I'm the target audience this book is aimed at. I'm the type of eater that goes from restricting quite heavily (calories and types of foods) and then sometimes binging on foods, but healthy foods like fruits, nuts, ect. Then feeling quilt, exercising lots and restricting calories again, in this terrible cycle to "make up" for it. I have the added problems of IBS, so when I eat healthy foods, I bloat and it messes with my mind as I look pregnant after an apple, even if I'm not overdoing calories. And restrictions from FODMAP's, fiber's, ect (if you have IBS, SIBO, you know the drill) I binge on healthy foods, because that's what I'd rather be eating and out of pure frustration. But of course it leaves me feeling awful afterwards, mentally, physically. A cookie set by YouTube to measure bandwidth that determines whether the user gets the new or old player interface. 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. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain from exploring Allen Carr’s Easyway to Quit Emotional Eating.

Furthermore, the book provides practical guidance on how to establish healthier eating habits.

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. 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. Do you eat to comfort yourself or feel secure? Or do you restrict what you eat to feel in control or secure?

You can indulge yourself whenever you feel like it. And the more you indulge yourself, the more you feel like it. 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. 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.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 :) Have you ever purged food (self-induced vomiting, misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas), or has the thought of purging food crossed your mind?

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.

These are all symptoms of your relationship with stress, pressure, negative emotions, food, eating, appetite, and digestion having become dysfunctional and distorted.

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. 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. In yet another desperate search to find something that will help me conquer my sugar and food addiction I just happened to stumble across this book. It's good. I mean, in some ways there was nothing new in there but in other ways it seemed to say the kinds of things I need to hear in just the right way. Things like, " THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO GOODNESS WHATSOEVER IN REFINED SUGARS."

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. Wer sich gerne Gedanken über sein Essverhalten machen möchte, einige Wahrheiten über Junkfood erfahren möchte, ist dieses Buch hier sicher wertvoll.

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.

Unfortunately, this title did not speak to me at all. He repeats himself quite often and wastes far too many words on trying to convince you what his “method” will do for you while using sensational words such as “brainwashed” which made me think of a snake oil salesman. I just kept wondering where the method was. Do you eat when you're not hungry? Or when you're angry and upset? Do you eat to control your feelings?

The Easyway method has now been applied to the problem of emotional eating. With Allen Carr's Easyway method, you can eat as much of your favourite 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. Allen Carr's "Easy Way to Quit Emotional Eating" is based on the premise that emotional eating is akin to a self-imposed prison that restricts individuals from fully experiencing life. The book delves into the idea that many people turn to food as a coping mechanism for stress, loneliness, or other negative emotions, leading to an unhealthy cycle of seeking comfort in junk food. Carr's approach, inspired by his successful method for smoking cessation, emphasizes the need to challenge the psychological conditioning associated with emotional eating. 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.
