Product Description
Virtually two books in one, Overcoming Binge Eating provides all the information needed both to understand the problem and bring it under control. Dispelling many of the myths associated with binge eating, Part One provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of current knowledge about binge eating problems. Chapters address such issues as: * who binges and why? * how binge eating differs from everyday overeating * whether binge eating is an addiction * how binge eating affects people emotionally and physically * the ways those who binge can gain control. Part Two of the book is a new self-help program based on the most effective strategies for binge eating problems. Designed to be used on its own or in conjunction with therapy, the program provides step-by-step guidance for: * overcoming the urge to binge * gaining control of eating behavior * reducing the risk of relapse * establishing stable, healthy eating habits. Comprehensive, accessible, and eminently practical, this important new book offers advice, encouragement, and detailed guidance for anyone who suffers from binge eating problems. It also provides the latest information for those wanting to learn about these problems.

 Very usable book August 24, 2010
RK (Ct, USA)
As a professional in this field, I am always searching for useful, user-friendly tools. Once I find them, I keep them in my office to give to my patients. I find that sometimes it's even too much work to purchase a book. I found this extremely readable and relatable to folks with eating disorder. I rarely use medication alone and this has been a very helpful adjunct and I now keep extra copies in my office.

I have tried everything to stop binge eating- OA, Weight Watchers, diets etc.....
This book is the only thing that has given me success. I have a great eating disorders Dr and this is what he works with.
Keeps it simple, direct, focused, do-able
Trying to eat only when you're hungry never worked for me- Normal eaters eat three meals a day and 2-3 snacks
I am now a normal eater- intuitive eating puzzled my over-thinking mind
Love this book
 Boring,boring November 9, 2009

I was so bored reading this, that I skimmed through most of it. To me, this book is something a counselor/therapist should have in their office to sit on their bookshelf, only to be opened when they have a particular patient coming in with an eating disorder, & they need to brush up on the problem before their session. If you are totally new to eating disorders, or you are a family member who is trying to understand a loved one with an e.d., then you may find this helpful. To those who have been struggling with their eating for a long time, this book probably won't be of much help. Definitely for people with no knowledge of eating disorders.

This book has a great description of binge eating followed by a step by step plan to tackle the problem. Backed by medical research statistics it was very helpful in understanding the issues causing binge eating and beginning to change the behavior.
Definitely not for everyone February 25, 2009

This was the first of many books I bought when I decided that I would finally try to recover from my eating disorder-- a vicious cycle of bulimia, anorexia, and, more often than not, binge eating.
While Fairburn was indeed informative, what with his statistics, his approach seemed impersonal and cold; he sounded as if he had no personal experience with eating problems, which made him hard to relate to in my opinion, and he provided no solutions for the emotional aspect of problems with eating-- which were entirely the reason my problems began in the first place. After I tried his methods of treatment, I honestly did not see any change. I still had the same problems, and I finished the book feeling like it was a waste of time to read.
I prefer a more empathetic approach. Fairburn's method may work for some, but for others, I recommend Breaking Free from Emotional Eating; that book truly changed my life and helped me completely transform not only the way I ate but the way I lived as well. It's targeted more towards women, but men may be able to find a solution within as well. I wish everyone luck on their journey.
