Anyone read Josie Spinardi's book "How To Have Your Cake & Skinny Jeans too"? She talks about how restrictive and popular diets actually cause yo yo weight loss and gain. These diets destroy our body's natural hunger pangs and appetite, throwing it into chaos so we are no longer able to tune in, leading to emotional eating and binge eating. As well as all the associated issues. She advocates mindful eating with no extreme deprivation but knowing when to stop, regroup and restart. She cites the example of naturally thin friends who eat whatever they want. She had Youtube videos up about it but it is inactive now. There was a chapter about recognising real hunger pangs and emotional fake pangs. I really recommend this book, it really help me look at my emotional eating and understand it in a whole new light.

Anyone else have other great books to recommend?
