- Fantastic!!
It seems to make so much sense. It's about listening to your body and doing what it tells you to do....

It is the first book that I've read that combines both the spiritual and physical aspects of overeating. I have read many books on this subject and none but this one have left me with the feeling of "this is really going to work". I am relieved and excited to live my new life as a person free from overeating, bingeing and bulimia!!

- Decent book, but needs improvements
This is a good book, however the author does not have her facts straight when it came to the exercise section. She needs to get updated info if she plans to do another book. She also states that we should throw out the "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" mentality. I disgree with this. It is the most important meal after the body has been fasting all night while sleeping. The body needs fuel to jump start the day and metabolism.

- Very helpful book after two readings
This book does a great job of breaking down the thought processes of eating and overeating. It was only moderately helpful to me after the first reading. Then a year later I read "The Sedona Method" by Hale Dwoskin, then came back to this book and reread it. Now it *really* works. I hope others will benefit as much as I did. Good luck.

- The concept is great but this book lacks practicality
I was so excited when I got this book but then I read it. I was so disappointed with the lack of practical advice. The authors are quick to point out that copying thin eaters' habits is not the most important part of this weight-loss book. They want you to explore the spiritual depths first, which I think is great but it is eating less and doing more that contributes to sustained weight-loss and everyone knows this. I was hoping to find inspiration and realistic instruction on how to stop eating when full. I found none in this book whatsoever. I found the book to be highly disappointing.

- Rethinking How You Eat and What You REALLY Want to Eat
I bought this book on a whim, because i no longer do diets. I was looking for a new way to think about my body, having finally come to terms that i am heavy, my mom was heavy, i better get used to this body.
I started reading this book a year ago, and read only half way through it. I put a bookmark in the book, and said to myself, ok, when i have time, I'll go back and finish the book.
About a month later, I started thinking about what I had read, that judging what I put in my mouth doesn't work, that my body is craving things but communication with the brain isn't working because of all the ideas i have about food. And i decided to give it a short try. What the hell, if I failed, I would just gain a few more pounds, and if I succeeded, I would lose pounds.
I followed the weird-sounding advice in the book. I stopped judging food as good or bad. I ate whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. I bought whatever I wanted at the grocery store. I went out of my way to satisfy my hungers.
After a while, I got tired of all of the potatoe chips and chocolate ice cream, and said, okay, I am ready to figure out what I am after when I am foraging. Then I realized i was looking for salty or crisp or crunchy. And it was then that I was able to take control of my food intake. Because I started to realize what I was looking for.
Dieting doesn't work because it doesn't teach you to nourish your needs. This book teaches you how to identify what you need, if it's love, or hugs or nourishment, or if it's really food. I am still following this book a year later, and finally ready to pick it back up and re-read the first half. I quit smoking in December, a pack and a half a day, and gained about ten pounds. In the last six months I have not only lost those pounds, but another two or three.
In the interim I have also been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia, reflux (severe) and a misshaped duadenum. I have also identified that I have trouble swallowing (it's painful). I always knew I had TMJ. If I had not been following this book, I hate to think what would have happened to me in trying to treat my hiatal hernia and reflux. Since I was already rethinking eating, I was able to take this medical information and integrate it into what I had already found out about my "food trip".
Am I still too heavy? Yes. Am I eating less as a result of this book? Yes. Am I more picky about what goes into my mouth? Yes. Do I starve myself? No. Do I feel undernourished. No. Have I lost weight? Yes. Was it overnight? No. (But then, I didn't gain it overnight either.)
This book is a hands-down winner.
