Farkas, who has more than two decades of professional and teaching experience in clinical psychology, digs deeper by looking at the single greatest cause of overeating: our emotions. Emotional eaters— those who eat in response to feelings rather than hunger—usually understand basic nutrition and how to control their weight.They may take charge of every other aspect of their life, but still feel helpless against the emotional barriers keeping them from healthy eating. 8 Keys to End Emotional Eating provides a detailed plan for overcoming these barriers.By exploring the causes that drive the desire to over eat, Farkas develops practical skills to manage this desire on a daily basis.His road map for the future will help readers maintain healthy eating habits for years to come.
