I'd Kill For A Cookie is a great book that deals with the everyday nuiances that cause us to eat incorrectly. It applies to people in all walks of life, from professionals, to families, to kids. I changed from the pancakes and syrup I was giving my kids to a protein packed breakfast so they would have more energy and concentration. I also quit eating so much protein late at night because that was the reason I was having trouble sleeping, and now I eat something with more carbohydrates in the evenings. This books shows how we can still eat all the foods we love, we may just have to eat them in moderation or eat them at a different time. When we are stressed, and we all are at some time or another whether we realize it or not, we tend to eat what is the easiest to grab, which is usually the wrong thing! Then we end up feeling worse and eat something else that is bad. This book shows how to manage our stress through proper nutrition. Once we begin to eat this stress-reducing way, we will be amazed, as I was--and still am--at how good we can really feel. This is truly not a diet, per say, but a way of eating for optimal mental health and physical health for your entire life. I am so glad I found this book! I think any person that reads I'd Kill For A Cookie would find it beneficial.

If you feel like me--tired, stressed, harried--and react by eating sweets or chips, you have to get I'd Kill for a Cookie. Drs. Mitchell and Christie outdid themselves with this easy-to-read handbook; they certainly must have known how I react to stress--one cookie at a time until the WHOLE bag is gone. The EAT Plan they teach is not difficult to implement in one's daily lifestyle, and the good news is that it really works. I've already lost the nine pounds gained from the pressures of exams this year, and it was not painful. Following the EAT Plan, I still enjoyed a small bowl of my favorite Edie's Rocky Road Light Ice Cream each night! Yet more important that that, I have learned to monitor my commitments so that I don't take on more than I can handle. Not only does the EAT Plan work, but the lists of ways to break the stress-eating habit can help anyone who is indulging in the wrong way. If life's interruptions make you crave food, read this book! It will change the way you react to stress forever. This is a must-read! When is the next book coming out?!

This book provides clear explanations for how food can affect our moods and how we can work with that in a healthy way. The information is based on research and science -- this is not another diet fad book, yay!! And thankfully, the authors recognize that we aren't all alike and that there is no one regimen to follow. They help you figure out how to adapt your eating habits without feeling deprived or restricted!

After reading this book, I learned easy ways to control stress eating. In my fast paced life, it was easy to grab the wrong foods. I always felt tired and frustrated. Stress was causing irritablility in my family relationships and work relationships. After reading this book, I am eating foods that increase my energy and I feel in control of my life. Eating is such a important part of our day to day living; it is worth the time to learn to eat to improve our emotional states. This book helped me improve all facets of my life! Would highly recommend to everyone!

This book makes you understand why you feel and act the way you do when you are hungry and under stress. It shows how eating the wrong foods at the wrong times can aggravate the way you feel. It also shows how eating the right foods at the right time can alleviate the feeling of stress and lack of energy. This book is easy to read, even injects humor, and has a simple plan that can adapt to anyone's lifestyle or eating style. I found it really helped me understand why I had trouble getting to sleep at night and why I felt so draggy during the middle of the day. Changing a few simple eating habits eliminated these problems and have made me feel 100% better. Everyone would probably benefit from reading this book, even if they think they already know everything!

If you lead a busy, hectic, and "stressed" lifestyle (who doesn't?), this book is for you. It was very easy to follow and written so that no matter what your role is in today's society, you will benefit from this book. After reading the book I was so impressed with it's content that I immediately purchased copies for several friends and my family members. (I'm from a family of 7 children.) How wonderful that it is now available in paperback!

This book was easy to read and offered good, practical advise on stress eating. It was gounded in common sense, yet added current information on exercise and eating issues. I have loaned my copy to several friends. It is easy for us all to remember to "graze" in order to lose those extra pounds.
