In the meantime, if you have issues with eating, buy this book, test Libby’s hypothesis, and write a review. You’ll be happy you did.” – Fred Provenza, Professor Emeritus, Utah State University. "I found this book through the r/BingeEatingDisorder subreddit, where several people mentioned it had helped them. I’d already been through treatment with a psychologist, a nutritionist, and a doctor – so I figured one more resource couldn’t hurt. I started reading with low expectations. I’d been struggling with binge eating for years, and honestly didn’t think a book could change much. But I was wrong – this book ended up being one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It completely changed the way I understood my problem – and even how I view books in general. I used to see them mainly as entertainment. This one showed me they can also be life-changing tools. The key message: you are not the problem – you’re caught in the trap of addictive food." – Abril S Whether you are struggling with so-called ‘emotional eating,’ ‘stress eating,’ ‘sugar addiction,’ ‘yo-yo dieting,’ ‘binge eating disorder,’ ‘compulsive eating,’ 'junk food addiction' or are simply wondering how to stop eating so much, Foods That Lie provides the missing piece that makes permanent change possible.
