I was disappointed with this book. [...]
There is nice information included in "The Taming Of The Chew." Nice. Like talking to an understanding friend. But this book just isn't useful. If you are serious about ending compulsive eating, don't look for it inside this book.

I'm fifty-eight years old and never had a weight problem in my life . . . until two years ago. Suddenly I found myself snacking and cleaning my plate (which I'd never done before). It was making me angry at myself, and left me feeling sick. And I began to gain some weight. Two therapists could not figure out what was going on, so I began reading books on the subject.

The best book I've found concerning compulsive and obsessive eating is "The Hunger Within." [...]Again, "The Taming Of The Chew" is very much like talking to a friend. But if you want quick, real-life help, try "The Hunger Within."

After reading Denise's book, I've applied many of the wonderful self loving points as part of a daily recovery system. I can now put to rest the time I've spend searching for just the right book to help put me in a world where I could "tame my chew". I highly recommend this to anyone who has struggled with or knows someone with an eating disorder, or similiar tendencies. Denise has done an extremely wonderful job of putting things in perspective.

I have suffered from binge eating/compulsive eating for about eight years... I have read a lot of literature, tried a couple apathetic therapists. I realize it is only up to me to really change my attitude, thoughts and of course actions. ANYWAY I purchased this book to help get in touch with my emotional and spiritual reasons for over eating, but it gave me less than satisfactory explanations. "Don't blame yourself" general answers, yeah I got that. Nothing to do with actual steps or specific roots to the problem.

After reading this book, I find that it hits close to the truth. What I like about this book is that it offers other books that delve further into specific issues. I find that it answers basic questions and allows for the reader to pick their specific issues and which books that may help the reader on that journey. Which is important because if this book held all of that information, it would be too large and readers would be daunted by that fact to even read it.

This book was very helpful. I think anyone with an addiction could get something out of the book. I strongly recommend it.

Good basic book on the emotional and physical reasons why we overeat. This book is recommended to anyone who is just starting to address this issues.

For once a book that is NOT about themselves but ABOUT Me and everyone else like me. This covers everything. I feel like I am reading about myself. I believe I will finally understand myself and learn how to take care of myself. Maybe I will not want foods that aren't good for my body. I recommend this book to everyone who is struggling with weight loss & closet eating like myself. If you really want to lose the weight and keep it off and no longer be a closet eater - READ THIS BOOK. I'm so glad I purchased it.

this book is very helpful for the many who overeat, or have a less than healthy relationship to food. the sections cover many of the most pertinent topics in an "digestible" format.
