The New Year is here now, and I can bet one of your resolutions is to lose weight. We may start out with good intentions, but soon we need more than just the good intentions. We need a change of behavior. Something Doctor Youdim refers to as a hunger.
"Food security gets ingrained not only in our thoughts but also in our genes," she says.
We all hunger for more out of life that manifests in our actions which influence how we sleep. eat, work--all cone down to choice.
Dr. Youdim offers stories of patients she deals with as a nutrition specialist and puts each case under a category she refers to as a hunger. This book is not a diet book with meal plans. Oh, no. There is some psychology behind her tales, all true. She shares her journey as well as the journey of those who come consult with her.
The writing is a bit disjointed, but since I am not seeking a diet plan at the moment, I may have not completely understood the thesis. But don't let that stop you from reading it. For those who wish to know they aren't alone in the area of weight gain, and perhaps wish to consider why they need to reconsider it is possibly a unrealized need or hunger that keeps them from attaining their vision, perhaps this is tghe book for you.
The author states "The current weight loss culture is based on fear, false promises and judgement serving up what is simply untrue--that weight is matter, trick and quick fixes."
She also has said "In the many years of doing this work, rarely have I encountered a human whose emotions did not inform their eating."
This book can be ordered from Amazon should you wish to secure it.
