This self-help book explores the problems created by having ready
access to high fat foods designed to taste good. Because we evolved
in conditions of relative scarcity we have few natural food
inhibitors and so most diet books try to encourage people to
inhibit their eating by highly rule governed behaviours which have
to be constantly worked at. However, this can lead to various forms
of self-criticism which can undermine efforts at self-control. As a
result our relationship with eating can be complex, multifaceted
and problematic. Beating Overeating Using Compassion Focused
Therapy uses Compassion Focused Therapy - a groundbreaking new
therapeutic approach - to understand and work with our urges and
passions for food. We can learn to enjoy and accept food and pay
attention to our biological and emotional needs. This book is for
people who have tried diets and found that they don't work and will
enable the reader to have a healthier and happier relationship with
food and their body. Topics covered: The relationship between our
brains and food, the evolutionary background to finding, conserving
and eating food How too much or too little food affects the brain,
why diets don't work, factors affecting our eating behaviour
(tastes, stress, comfort, etc) Body shape and culture Developing an
inner compassion for one's relationship with food - recognising
what we need and what is helpful
