Publisher's Synopsis
Do you ever go looking for food even when you aren't hungry? Or find you aren't able to manage your impulsive desires to eat more?
If your answer is yes, I can tell you that you're not alone... I'm very familiar with these situations.
This will sound strange, but the reality is, so many people are controlled by their impulses, simply because they aren't able to face them! Food is an essential source of fuel for our body, and also the first thing that comes to mind when we want to celebrate an achievement or enjoy a pleasant moment with friends and family.
If these pleasures aren't managed, one can end up being controlled by them.
Unfortunately, many individuals underrate this problem, ignoring the emotional aspects that in the long run take us unaware as we now see food as the only "release" from our problems. Then, without realizing it, we try to meet these yearnings through an unbalanced diet, unhealthy products, and multiple meals just to achieve satisfaction.
How many times do you go to the refrigerator to satisfy your appetite even though you don't have any? Or how many times do you eat to satisfy your boredom?
These individual examples certainly aren't severe on their own; however, they develop into a problem when you don't manage them and they become your daily routine.
Most times, we keep eating hoping to remain healthy or to relieve stress, which in most cases leave us eating and wanting more (this action is called "comfort food").
In such cases the most common reaction is "let yourself go," then you give free rein to excesses or desires, which end up going against ourselves and your health.
These are some of the many topics that we're going to talk about in this book
- Why do we eat? Our body easily explained.

If you have read up to this part it means you are looking for answers to all these questions and would want to apply the solutions to your own conditions. That's the first and most important step to achieving results.
The only thing you have to do is to face this battle head-on by applying the solutions found in this book as you go through each page.
Each chapter has been designed to be easily understood, leading you to the discovery of every aspect of these difficulties.
My goal is to give you all the tools needed to be fully AWARE of what you eat daily, managing every desire, and finally getting back to your old self and eating healthy again.
