The Binge Cure: 7 Steps To Outsmart Emotional Eating
I, like millions of others, have a long history of diet failures, binge eating and chronic frustration with my inability to control my dysfunctional eating habits. This is the first book I have ever read that makes sense of this yo-yo dieting madness. After reading Dr. Nina's book I truly understand why I have failed, and how now to succeed in meeting my health and image goals. This is not just another fad diet book. Instead, it is an exemplary guidebook that takes us on a journey to explore our perceptions, feelings, emotions and behaviors that drive destructive eating habits. The poignant patient examples, along with Dr. Nina's compassion, proven strategies and exercises will definitely help readers, once and for all, stop failing and find peace with themselves and food.

Here’s what people are saying about my book:
I always resisted calling my bulimia more than just a bad habit. Until I read Food for Thought. The book dispelled my resistance dramatically to delving deeper into the origins of my disordered eating patterns.
Dr. Savelle-Rocklin states: "Bulimia is a symptom that contains and expresses a plethora of meanings; it can be understood as a defense against painful emotional experience, an expression of ambivalence, an attempt at mastery, and a means of self-regulation."
That is only a taste of the mind-blowing tidbits of information sprinkled throughout Food for Thought, many of which are drawn from examples of different patients battling with eating, weight and body image.
I have a ton of books on my bookshelves. But this is one I keep close.
