Emotional eating is one of the least studied factors contributing to overweight, yet it’s one of the most common eating problems for women and for many men, too. If you’re an emotional eater, or if you know an emotional eater, this show has answers for you. Host Karen Bentley kicks off the topic with 8 tips from the Mayo Clinic for regaining control of eating habits. This is followed by an interview with Geneen Roth, an internationally acclaimed expert in breaking free from emotional eating. Geneen is the bestselling author of seven books including When Food Is Love and Feeding The Hungry Heart, and she’s helped thousands and thousands of participants at her workshops. Today we’ll be focusing on Geneen’s book entitled, When You Eat At The Refrigerator, Pull up a Chair. Host Karen Bentley concludes the program with a discussion of her personal history as an out-of-control eater. Karen also explains how and why The Sugar-Free Miracle™ Diet System, the weight loss program she developed, is a different and better eating strategy for emotional eaters because it’s specifically designed to stop out-of-control eating by minimizing (and sometimes completely eliminating) food cravings. This is a distinct advantage over the typical low-fat, low-calorie diet, which exacerbates out-of-control eating and which cannot be sustained by 95% of the population.
