How wonderful would it feel to be able to break free from the pattern of yo-yo dieting forever?

5.0 out of 5 stars LIKE NO OTHER DIET BOOK, July 7, 2008

This review is from: The Yo-Yo Diet Syndrome: How to Heal and Stabilize Your Appetite and Weight (Paperback)

This is a psychological approach to weight and eating. It is differnt than any other Diet Book because it focuses on emotions and why you eat and more importantly about the issues that cause you to eat. If you can deal with the issues and emotions on your own then this book will deffinetly work for you. I am a great advocate of Doreen Virtue and her work and loved this book. I believe that it has given me the tools I need to stop eating when I am stressed. Thank you Doreen.

This review is from: The Yo-Yo Diet Syndrome: How to Heal and Stabilize Your Appetite and Weight (Paperback)

This is the best self help book I have ever read. It helps you understand why you binge eat so you can address the underlying cause. Because of the painful stuff that can come up, this is not for the faint of heart, this is for anyone who is serious about healing from the core.

Author has answered and addressed all my downfalls around comfort eating. It is the best book on emotional eating I have come across because she shows a way out and it is working for me.
