This is more of a pamphlet than a book, but it has good solid information.If you are having a binge eating problem, you need to bring in a professional in many cases. Binge eating is not something you can change on your own if there are deep seated reasons behind it. If you try the suggestions in this book and find yourself falling into old patterns, seek help.Simple and effective solutions do not work for everyone, that's okay. You didn't get here easily, there are no magic cures or you could stop today without a book. There is no shame in seeking help, but there is a lot to be gained.This book will help you identify the reasons you binge eat, and some basics for how to do something else instead. There are no typos, no major grammatical errors, no in depth reasoning. Just solid basics, written in a generalized way because there is no way for the author to streamline this to you and your precise problems without knowing you. He does a fantastic job and is to be commended for what he has written in his short book. He does not cover it all, only the basics.He does not mention purging. If you are purging, you need to talk to your doctor this week if you want to stop or need to help a friend or child stop purging. Purging is a very serious condition that can cause health problems and dental issues. It goes way beyond binging. Do not try to tackle this alone with this book. If you are looking at this book, you are concerned about the issue, call a doctor. Do it as soon as the clinic is open.
