Release Your Obsession With Food: Heal From the Inside Out focuses on things like chemical imbalance, psychology, and spirituality, rather than on fad diets or quick weight loss schemes that don’t actually do anything to help solve the underlying problems. It’s not for people who are simply looking for the “easy fix”, but, instead, for those who are looking to finally break free from the endless cycle of compulsive eating. This book helps the readers to rise to the challenge by giving practical, structured, step-by- step advice. It offers the readers hope by sharing how other people have managed to find relief by overcoming their seemingly never-ending issues with food. It was not written by someone who has merely studied this topic through books and research, but by someone who has walked this path, herself. This gives her an advantage because she not only has the necessary, factual information, but also the ability to draw on her own personal experience. This book is the result of a lifelong journey of self discovery and can help free you from your own unhealthy relationship with food. Dr. Lisa Ortigara Crego tells us how she managed to move away from active food addiction to spiritual recovery and reveals how you, too, can escape the bonds of compulsive eating.
Despite this being a very difficult, serious topic, this was a very straight forward, easy to read book. I think that, because the author has firsthand knowledge of what it’s like to battle food addiction, this wasn’t the dry, boring self help book that I was expecting it to be. It’s full of useful advice to help you on your recovery path. It also explains the difference between eating disorders and food addiction. I had always thought that eating disorders were a form of food addiction, but while they can go together, someone with an eating disorder doesn’t necessarily have a food addiction, and vice versa. I found a lot of really helpful suggestions and explanations in this book, but what I found the most useful was the amazing personal stories of other people who have faced their own personal issues and battled their food addictions, and emerged on the other side victorious. Reading their stories offers a great deal of hope that, while it’s going to be difficult, it is possible to get your life back. When you add the helpful advice, useful information, stories of hope, and more, you begin to see how, if you take what you learn to heart and actually act upon it, you may find your life transformed. You won’t learn “quick fixes” or the latest fad diets, but instead you’ll learn how to live a completely new, healthier lifestyle. I found this book to be very helpful and insightful, for myself, and I fully intend to suggest it to any and everyone that I know who is struggling with food addiction, and asks for my help.
