Summary: a psychologist loves this book!
Review: As a psychologist, I love this book! The perfect title for a great book on our culture's obsession with food and appearance. Even though it addresses eating disorders in menopausal women, two of my teenage patients have told me they feel it describes them in details not found in other books. The concrete solutions offered have helped them to change their thinking. They feel understood by the compassionate tone of the authors. I like the stress reduction techniques and their understanding of how thoughts lead to behaviors. Change your thoughts, change your behavior. This book can clearly help to heal.

Summary: Simple, Effective AND Evidence-Based!
Review: Modern culture is certainly in no danger of a shortage of "solutions" claiming to solve eating and weight related problems. However, most of these options present a "solution" that may ultimately contribute to the problem---Dieting. Such plans are NOT supported by scientific research, which has clearly proven dieting to be an ineffective approach to food and weight issues.

Runaway Eating takes a novel perspective. Striking an unusually elegant balance, it presents an evidence-based, self-treatment that is extraordinarily readable, simple to follow AND rooted in science.

This groundbreaking, 8-point plan arms anyone who has struggled with eating and weight issues with an indispensable set of tools to pursue a future free of disordered eating.

If you are tired of the latest DietRevoltionSolution, and seeking a real treatment option, buy this book!

Summary: Excellent book
Review: This book is both very informative and accessible. Intellegently written, it addresses the issue of runaway eating from many angles and includes scenarios to which the reader can relate. I highly recommend this to women who are experiencing abnormal eating behaviors, or to anyone who would like to learn more about this topic. Dr. Phil should take notes!
