  • I too have emotional eating issues - and because I would feel bad about overeating I would tend to starve myself until I got so hungry I would binge again....a bad cycle. I recommend Tom Venuto's Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle - I have been doing this program for about a month and have lost pounds, inches and gained muscle -…
