A truly important book
By Luminist on August 20, 2019

I initially decided to buy this book because I listen to Dr. Nina's radio show whenever possible, and her philosophy and suggestions always resonate with me and with members of my family in immediate need of her advice and encouragement - attributes that, frankly, are in short supply in the world, but are really plentiful on these pages. She says it's not what you're eating that's the real problem, it's what's eating at you. What makes The Binge Cure different from other books I've read on the topic is that she identifies the "hidden" reasons you might be eating. Her focus, for both diagnosis and ongoing help, is not just dealing with the obvious ones you know. She helps you dig deep and focus on why you're eating. She puts feelings (the underlying root of the disorders and painful emotions she helps her listeners/patients, followers with), not on food.
I can relate to a lot of the examples of people she's worked with. The book is a fast, informative, helpful read. Just like on her show, Dr. Nina is relatable and caring as she explains the process of change and she also gives action steps to implement. Powerful stuff, and helpful.
Dr. Nina is so helpful!!

Reading this book is like listening to Dr. Nina on her radio show. She's warm and compassionate, and sometimes funny. I was nodding a lot as I was reading it because it makes so much sense. Not only does she help you think differently, but she also gives you actual strategies of what to do when the urge to binge or overeat strikes. Dr. Nina helps you understand WHY you're eating, instead of focusing on food. So many of those "why" reasons have to do with hidden or unconscious ideas or emotions, which I never thought about before yet it really makes sense. I love Dr. Nina's radio show and I love this book. Definitely check it out!
Read this if you think you're a food addict!
By Jennifer Karl on August 30, 2019
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
I got this book because a good friend said she's a food addict and I wanted to understand more about it so I could help. I learned there's actually no such thing as food addiction (eating addiction maybe) and even if you feel like an addict, there's something more going on. I'm giving The Binge Cure to my friend because it's going to help her so much!! The author makes it clear that if food is a problem, it means something else is going on ("It's not what you're eating that's the real problem, it's what's eating at you") and then helps you figure out what it is, and what to do about it. This is an eye-opening book and well-written. It's going to be life-changing for my friend!

Insightful, reassuring, and empowering read
By LA on October 1, 2019
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
If you’ve ever struggled with emotional eating or binge eating, this book offers invaluable insights that really do help. So often we try this diet or that diet, only to regain the weight and feel worse about ourselves than we did before the diet. But this book helps you to understand when emotional triggers are causing you to mindlessly consume an entire bag of chips or carton of ice cream. And there is no judgment. Dr. Nina empathizes and helps explain why food can be so powerful as a means for soothing our emotional hunger and how to break free from it. I found it especially fascinating to learn about how certain types of foods correlate with certain emotions, or what she calls “the food-mood formula.” And I found that the times I felt angry, I did in fact reach for those crunchy foods, whereas when I felt in need of comfort, I wanted ice cream. It also helped me notice how mean my inner critic can be and the fears that could be sabotaging my success. I highly recommend this book if you struggle with emotional eating.

As a health coach that works with women that have a 100 or more pounds to lose, I am always on the look out for resources to help the amazing women I coach. I am in the unique position of losing 120 pounds myself and and as I read Dr. Nina’s book I was simply blown away! So much of the content really hit home. The steps she outlines in the book, are the so close to how I ended up finally winning my own war, I was fist pumping the air and yelling yes as I read it. My husband actually asked if I was watching some kind of sporting event because I was making that much noise (hint… I don’t watch sports. LOL)
If you feel your lost and just unable to lose weight because your mind won’t get out of your own way, and food is out of control-YOU NEED THIS BOOK. This book has become a resource for my coaching program because I feel so firmly that the content is needed by anyone that has over 100 pounds to lose.
Also anyone that feels that food is controlling their life will get soooo much out of this book, maybe you don’t call it binge eating, but whatever you call it check this book out!

This book changed my life after decades of binge eating!
By Carol van Zalingen on January 5, 2020
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
Dr. Nina’s book truly changed my life. Not because it was a “new diet” to try, but because it targeted the roots of why I’d been binge-eating all my life and then gave me useful, practical tools I could implement immediately to begin changing how I respond to situations, and ultimately, how I relate to and respond to myself. I learned from her book that food was never the problem for me – it was the solution I learned at an early age for soothing myself or distracting myself or numbing myself when I had feelings I didn’t know how to process because I’d never learned how to process my feelings. I learned that I had developed a habit of relating to myself in the way that I had been treated as a child. When my parents dismissed my feelings, I learned that my feelings were not important and didn’t deserve my attention. Dr. Nina’s book taught me how to improve my relationship with myself so that instead of beating myself up every time I binged or failed to stay on a diet, I instead became more compassionate and curious instead of hyper critical. I learned to be supportive and understanding towards myself, and I learned that this book doesn’t just cure binge-eating – it improves every aspect of one’s life because once we repair our relationships with ourselves and can show up and be present and compassionate with and for ourselves, then a world of possibilities opens up that we never even dreamed existed before because we were so focused on how many calories were in something or what we were going to binge on next. It’s the most liberating book, and I am profoundly grateful Dr. Nina wrote it. I also highly recommend listening to the Dr. Nina Show on LA Talk Radio or catching her pod cast of the show – it’s well-worth your time and reinforces everything you will learn from reading her book.
Best book on the topic!!
By Mink December 19, 2019
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
I’ve read many books about eating disorders and the psychology behind them, but this is the first book that goes way beyond simply emotional eating. The book does a deep dive into other reasons that contribute to food problems and helps identify the underlying emotional and psychological causes of binge eating. Eating until you’re stuffed can mean turning emotional pain into physical pain? Whoa, that really strikes a nerve!!! The Binge Cure is filled with nuggets like this, with actionable tips to make changes and to really delve into the ‘why’ of emotional eating. This, along with Dr. Nina’s expertise, exercises, and her Food-Mood formula will surely help those stuck on the hamster wheel of unhealthy eating habits. Highly recommend!

This book of Dr. Nina’s, like her others, is a wonderful contribution. As those of us who are insight-oriented in how we look at the human state and work with people know, symptoms are a way to respond to real, underlying issues. Some people only focus on symptoms, not the “why” of their existence. And some people ignore them, figuring that they will go away when the real, underlying issues get resolved, which they probably will. Dr. Nina, being a psychoanalyst who has dedicated her practice to working with those with eating disorders, does both. She encourages people to know and process their real feelings that make them have disordered eating. And, in this book, she acknowledges that even if binge eating is defensive in nature, it is extremely painful and problematic for people. She helps people stop doing it, all the while encouraging more self-awareness. I recommend this book most highly by this professional whom I respect so much. It is not easy to find a book (or a person) who will help with symptoms while understanding that there is a root problem or issue, yet this is what Dr. Nina does in her work. If you want help from someone who really understands, read this!!

Do you want to get to the root of why you binge and ditch dieting forever?
Dr. Nina’s proven program is now available in a book that can help you conquer the binge-diet cycle once and for all.
Do you often lose control over food? Do you vow to be “good” and stick to your diet but then sabotage your weight-loss efforts by eating one of your forbidden foods (pizza, chips, ice cream, or anything with an actual carb)? Do you have two different sets of clothes in your closet—one for the size you are and one for the size you want to be? Are you tired of obsessing over every bite?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are not broken, weak, or a failure; you’re just stuck. And it has nothing to do with willpower or being addicted to food. The Binge Cure will teach you exactly how to create permanent, sustainable weight loss—no dieting necessary! Finally, Dr. Nina is sharing the successful tools she has used in her private practice and online programs to help thousands of people heal their relationship with food. Learn how to crack the code of emotional eating, identify your binge triggers, express your feelings, and make lasting changes with powerful strategies that will help you stop bingeing, lose weight, and gain health.
Discover which emotions you are feeling based on the types of foods you are bingeing with The Food-Mood Formula. Are you diving into a bag of chips because you are secretly angry at your mother? Or are you filling that empty space inside with a giant bowl of pasta? Your chosen foods often provide important clues about your hidden emotions. Are you feeling anger, sadness, anxiety, guilt, shame, or loneliness? If you mindlessly overeat to manage deeper, intolerable feelings, then you need to investigate what’s leading you toward food, rather than fixating on what you’re eating. There’s only one way to get rid of the uncomfortable feelings you are trying to avoid: to feel them. Filled with illuminating case examples and concrete exercises, The Binge Cure will help you break through your emotional hunger to satisfy your real cravings and learn how to truly comfort yourself—without food.
It’s time to ditch your inner critic, lose the fat talk, and be a real friend to yourself. Instead of focusing on what you weigh, focus on what’s weighing on you. If something is bothering you, you can’t starve it away or stuff it down—and you cannot measure your true value on a bathroom scale. When you feel, you will heal.
Get ready to break the diet habit and make peace with food—and yourself.
This book is THE BIBLE on how to pry yourself off the scale and out of the never-ending cycle of yo-yo dieting, food obsession, and confusing your life goals with your weight goals.
Dr. Nina tackles the tough questions and the complicated issues surrounding food, emotional eating, and physical well-being. And her solutions are sensible and based on real case studies, her guidance indispensable. This book is a keeper.
