Based on the premise that overeating is linked to emotional and spiritual deprivations, Love Hunger uses a relationship inventory to help you understand how disappointments with your family, spouse, or self can result in obesity. It provides a comprehensive program to help identify whether you are using food as a substitute for fulfillment.

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.
