More About This Book

Overview

A renowned expert on binge eating, the director of the Eating Disorders Program at the University of North Carolina, shares proven techniques for conquering food cravings.

Clinical psychologist Cynthia M. Bulik, specially trained in psychiatric genetics, is a leading authority on eating disorders such as binge eating disorder (BED). For twenty years she and other researchers have tracked thousands of people, and have found that BED runs in families. I n 2000, Bulik was one of a group of researchers who studied eight thousand sets of twins in a Norwegian registry to learn more about how genes contribute to binge eating disorder. T hey found an astonishingly high heritability of 47 percent.

Binge eating disorder is less well known than anorexia or bulimia nervosa but is more prevalent. Health professionals estimate that more than five million American women and three million men suffer from BED. Jane Brody revealed in the New York Times that when she was twenty-three years old, her food binges were so extreme that “many mornings I awakened to find partly chewed food still in my mouth.”

Genetic predisposition, brain chemistry, psychology, and cultural pressures increase a person’s susceptibility to BED, but bingeing is not inevitable. Crave helps readers understand why they crave specific foods, recognize what triggers their strong urges, and get control over their responses to those triggers. BED is highly treatable; Bulik shares with readers a set of easy-to-implement “curb the crave” techniques that has empowered patients at the U NC Eating Disorders Program and elsewhere to triumph over their binge eating. T hrough the stories of some of these patients—men and women, young and old—and with the guidance of Bulik, readers will develop effective strategies to successfully conquer their cravings and establish healthy eating and activity habits.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

Bulik (director, Univ. of North Carolina Eating Disorders Program; coauthor, Runaway Eating) here brings her nearly 30 years of expertise to the public. Many readers can say they have heard of anorexia nervosa and bulimia; many have even heard of binge eating. According to Bulik, few readers (and even medical professionals) realize that binge eating is a serious disorder, affecting 3.5 percent of women over the age of 18 and two percent of men-that's over five million women and three million men in the United States. Far from just overeating, binge eating is a complex, overarching psychological disorder. However, the tips provided by Bulik in conjunction with good medical and psychological care can lead to complete recovery. Readers can find their general profile, which describes their psychology, learn good eating habits (such as always eating breakfast), and learn how to fit physical activity into their life. Recommended for public libraries with good consumer health collections. Although not an academic text, this book would be suitable for academic libraries with collections of consumer health works for the student population.

    Easy to understand

    This book was pretty easy to understand. I was able to shed light on a problem I've had my whole life. I can't say that it's a quick fix because it's not, there is no quick fix but I do feel like this author tries to give you tools to help understand and guide you a little bit. I enjoyed reading this book and will continue to research on my own about my disorder. I know that it will always be an uphill battle but with more and more people realizing that binge eating is a big problem in this country hopefully one day we will have the full support we need.
    The one complaint I have about this book is that she went on a little to much about drinking our calories. I know the importance of this but I guess for me I don't have an issue with drinking calories as much as others might. Other than that this book was terrific and I would recommend it to anyone struggling with this disorder or anyone who knows someone struggling. It will give friends and family good insight as to what your loved ones are going through !

    Crave -

    I was very disappointed - I thought finally someone could explain to me why and how the cravings work in my brain. This was simply another eat right, eat this, eat that, don't eat in the car, not what to do or explain how to stop them stop! Its just another of the same old stuff.
