Compulsive overeating is a complex and pervasive problem. A one-dimensional approach to weight loss has rarely worked because different people are overweight for different reasons, and most people have several factors feeding their obesity problems. Love Hunger Weight-Loss Workbook's multifaceted approach will help you develop lifelong lifestyle changes through: Weekly eating, exercise, and lifestyle plans An easy-to-use menu exchange program for each week A daily food, exercise, and behavior diary A specially designed personal weight-loss chart Daily meditations based on the Twelve Steps A guided self-examination of your love hunger through self-tests, journaling, interactive questions, and exercises.

Based on the premise that overeating is linked to emotional and spiritual deprivations, Love Hunger begins with a relationship inventory that will help you understand how disappointments with your family, spouse, or self can result in obesity. It then provides a comprehensive program that helps identify whether or not you are using food as a substitute for love, career fulfillment, or friendship and shows you how to break that addiction. Once you begin dealing with the psychological basis for your eating problems, you'll be ready to lose weight healthfully, with a dietitian-designed food plan, that includes daily menus and recipes, as well as strategies for relapses, maintenance, motivation, and more. This is a complete plan for body, mind, and soul.
