Summary: The one book that helped me.
Review: I have read several books on the subject, searching for a way to break free of this. The problem is that many books adopt one of two approaches: either one designed for bulimics, which I am not, or a view that food is an addiction and certain foods must be avoided for life.
This book takes a sensible and, most importantly, very doable approach - it doesn't ask you to monitor in written form, which can be quite a chore, but rather works on making you aware of your eating style and then overhauling it. Gradually, eating is normalized and the former binge foods are introduced - without leading to binges for me!! - so that your relationship with food slowly gravitates towards being "normal".
All in all, a great read, the one book that changed my life!

Summary: Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Review: I never had a name to what I was doing each night, standing at the counter or sitting on the couch, eating tremendous amounts of food. This book explains it all and has a lot of tips on how to manage binge eating. Even if your just on a "diet" this is a great book!

Summary: Gives you hope
Review: This book alone will not solve your binge eating problem, so don't expect that. But it is a must-read for any person who feels uncontrollable when it comes to food. It definitely makes you wake up to realize what might be behind your binge-eating, as in the emotions behind it. It is an easy-read and you will do a lot of self-assessment. He truly gives you hope that you can get through this so you can focus on losing all the weight you want to. The key part is that he recognizes that normal diets don't work if you are a binge eater because they do not address bingeing. A+!

Summary: Surprizingly good...
Review: This book gives much insight on a subject that is a tough one. Despite the fact that I was reluctant to purchase it, the book offered alot of excellent information that I had not read elsewhere. And that was the key point... it was new information which is rare for a book about over eating/dieting/binging.

Summary: Good but hard to follow
Review: This book was interesting and I was very enlightened. I realized that I do have a binge eating disorder and all of the advice in the book was great. However, I found that it was hard to follow and to keep on top of. Very easy to revert back to prior binge eating ways. There is still hope:My recommendation is The Hunger Within: A Twelve-Week Self-Guided Journey from Compulsive Eating to Recovery -- by Marilyn Migliore, Philip Ross See my review of this book...
