Might be the solution I've been looking for!!!

What did you like most about The Thin Woman's Brain?

I have read several book about mindful eating, but by reading this one, I feel that I have finally found something that might actually get me out of the caos that have been controlling my life for years. It is read aloud by a calm, yet fresh voice, and the actualy content is not just borrow information on how to eat mindful as it is spiced with stories.

What did you like best about this story?

That it has given my the feeling that I might actually be able to get my eating habits under control, without livng with chocolate, cake, etc. I has helped me realise that diet are ruining, and I will never, ever go on one again.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I loved hearing about the author's experience, e.g. her discussions with her naturally thin friend. How naturally thin women don't ban themselves any types of food - they just wait eating it until they are actually hungry. In stead of binging chocolate croissants (example from the book) likes there's no tomorrow.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, and I am actually listening to the second round now.

Any additional comments?

If really wanting to get your eating habits under control, I would recommend also going for the 21-day app that helps you get your food addiction under control.

Thought provoking, but...

There are lots of interesting theories here, some of which I will definitely be trying to apply to my life.
My only criticism (and it’s a small one) is that this book is far too long and repetitive.

breath of fresh air into dieting

Absolutely loved this book! Explains why dieting doesn't work (as so many of us have already witnessed) and how to end with it once and for all restoring healthy brain, that is addicted to food. I love her scientific approach. Also teaches how to become more aware of your own body functions and its signs and even how to work with anxieties and past traumas. I'm in a place of life, where I'm absolutely ready to follow this books protocol and end dieting, getting to know myself better at the same time. I'm super grateful for this book!

Keep gaining weight after loss? This is for you!

In a moment of desparation I ordered this audio book. All my life I have known that to conquer an eating disorder was not just about eating right. "Something has to happen in my brain" I kept saying to dieticians and psychologists.

This book has opened a window in my brain; introduced a fresh breeze of an approach and thereby a tangible hope of conquering a life-long self-harm addiction. The approach may not be "the answer" for everyone, but I dare to think after 4 months of listening to this book and installing and acting on the knowledge held in it, that I have been handed the key that I have searched for since I was a child. I am bent on completely "re-wiring my brain".

The book is simply and clearly read. It holds results of scientific research being done on obesity caused by food/eating related addiction (along with other addictions); it describes cause and effect; moves onto approaches of how to adjust the brain's responses to triggers; what to do about triggers; some tips and tricks and so much more.

For someone who does not want to just control what they eat to lose weight, always with the thought at the back of their head that the weight will be gained again when the control slips. For someone who wants to be free of this repetative cycle of defeat and really have a brain that thinks the way a naturally thin woman's brain does about food and appetite. I would suggest listening to this book now.

Enjoyable and informative.

I liked this book as it didn't waffle about her personal circumstances or experience. It gives practical tools and scientific evidence to back up what she says. A great read to quit dieting for good.

good sensible advice

Nice pace. practical advice. if you've had an ongoing issue with your weight you'll know most of this but as always it's putting it into practice. that said it makes a lot more sense than most books and might just be the one that triggers you on your way.
