5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best....., June 15, 1999
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Take comfort in self-understanding (rather than in food!), November 3, 2002
I always take a deep breathe before looking at a new book on controlling compulsive urges ... expecting either to be lectured at, made to feel guilty, or told a simple formula doomed to fail! Denise's book is very different and refreshing. The answer is not "less," but more: insight and healthy pleasures, as we learn to comfort ourselves in deeper and more longlasting ways.

2.0 out of 5 stars Rhetoric. Nice Rhetoric, But Still Rhetoric., July 27, 2007
By Sally Atman (Redondo Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
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."
