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. 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.

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. 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 :) 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.Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. Do you eat to comfort yourself or feel secure? Or do you restrict what you eat to feel in control or secure?

We’re given candy for being good; there’s cake and chocolate on our birthday; we go to fast food restaurants on special occasions. Have you ever purged food (self-induced vomiting, misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas), or has the thought of purging food crossed your mind? 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.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.

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." 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.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. 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. 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. 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 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.
