In her attempt to deal with the crisis of overeating and obesity, the author took a long shot at the psychology of such unrestrained human behavior. She started by defining the place of food in people’s life, the rule of conscious behavior, and the body’s response to over eating. She then tackles the motivation, emotion, and triggers that master such behavior and proposes distracting gimmicks to modify eating behavior. Finally, she hopes for long term adherence to a new healthy pattern of behavior that she strove to construct.
In her painstaking labor to tweak the pattern of eating behavior form unwary and purposeless to disciplined and restrained, the author utilized the 225 pages effectively and simply by limiting her discussion to what she knows best: psychology of eating. She thus tackled that aspect of the crisis of overweight form the consumer side of view, where individuals have to take charge of their own actions. In that context, the author has abandoned the majority of overweight people and the would-be overweight, in every passing moment of modern living, due to the indiscreet culture of profiteering at the expense of ignorant population. Mostly those who could endure reading such extensive literature would be able to restrain themselves in the maze of sickening fast food industry.
Does it have to be that complicated to control bodyweight in today’s industrial society?
Unfortunately, yes. Industrialization has deprived common people from the sense of gauging the amount and quality of daily consumed food and the intensity and duration of minimal physical activity necessary to healthy living. Standard education might not reclaim such lost glory of natural living and instinctual habits that humans have developed over millions of years of human evolution. The bread and corn were good when people used to farm a third of the 24-hour day. Today, all wheat and corn products are being deposited under the skin and in between the organs of modern humans. Today’s Physical labor is far outpaced with the intake of high sources carbohydrates that are easy to access, cheap to buy, and enticing to consume.
Unless global ban on wheat and corn products is exerted on the fast food industry, overweight and obesity will remain on the top of the causes of mortality and morbidity in societies that thrive on automotive power in lieu of physical human activity. By confining its remedial task to eating psychology, the book is a real supplement to public education on how to stay vigilant when dealing with the silent killer of obesity and overweight that only results from overeating or poor quality eating and inactivity.

I had couldn’t remember to read the next day’s chapter. Especially during the weekends. I ended up putting it down. But it had some sound advice.

I just started this book three days ago but I am already excited about it. My book had a handwritten note from the author and I also received an email wishing me luck and offering support. Just the personal correspondence is great! I am on day 2 and, at the end of the 100 days, will be back to give a full review.
P. S. I have a blog wherein I chronicle my weight loss struggles as well as my daily life.

I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 books I have from Linda Spangle. She clearly has documented her feelings, emotions and actions. I believe she has come the closest to discovering the reasons why we overeat and how to overcome them. Good job and thanks!!
