Coping with Compulsive Eating
by Ruth Searle
Compulsive overeating, or binge-eating disorder, affects an estimated 30 percent of the population in the UK. As well as obesity, common results include shame, guilt and social distress, while physical complications include fatigue, high blood pressure, diabetes and some cancers.
A psychological approach to overeating can be an effective form of treatment. But in this practical book, Ruth Searle also examines the physical and physiological causes of this disorder, which are often overlooked. Overcoming Compulsive Eating shows that there are simple, effective, and enjoyable ways out of compulsive eating. Ruth Searle explores how people can free themselves from addictive cravings, discover their social and psychological triggers, and, instead of dieting, establish a lifetime plan of eating and exercise.
Dr Ruth Searle is author of The Thinking Person's Guide to Happiness, Sheldon Press 2006. She has also contributed to the New Scientist and Brain and Behavioural Sciences.
