'Stop fighting with food and read this book!' - Arianna Huffington, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Thrive

'Rewire your brain to fix bad food habits ... Brewer has helped people break out of a habit of 40 years' standing in one month.' - The Telegraph

'A game-changing plan to change your relationship with food.' - Annie Grace, author of This Naked Mind

A proven neuroscience-based programme to heal your relationship with your body and food, from the world-renowned addiction psychiatrist and New York Times bestselling author of Unwinding Anxiety.

Eat this not that, count calories, exercise more, use your willpower ... how many of these guilt-laden dieting messages make you feel bad about why it's so hard to manage what and how you eat? Based on over 20 years of clinical research and Dr Brewer's work with thousands of patients, The Hunger Habit is the kindest and most effective approach to eating that you'll ever come across. It's the antidote to food shame and dieting.

Using the power of curiosity and awareness, Dr Brewer's proven step-by-step programme will help you heal your relationship with food, reset eating triggers and resolve any long-held personal issues around self-esteem, anxiety, shame, anger and stress. At the same time, you will learn how to embrace setbacks and adopt an attitude of self-kindness instead of self-judgment. The Hunger Habit is not a diet book but, as many of his clients have already discovered, once you break out of your personal food jail, you'll find a changed relationship to eating leads to a newfound freedom.

No matter where you are now or how hopeless you feel about yourself, stress eating, overeating, binge eating or whatever your habits are, Dr Brewer's powerful book will help.
