Product Description
Psychologist and doctor of holistic health Denise Lamothe presents a complete program to combat overeating, showing compulsive eaters how to take control of their dependence on and obsession with food. Lamothe targets the enemy as "the Chew," which she describes as the "hurtful, persistent, out-of-control part of each of us." The Chew is what keeps overeaters from sticking to a dietary plan and can compel them to go on eating binges. Lamothe shows how to tame the Chew by explaining the problem from psychological, social, spiritual, and biological perspectives; presenting her comprehensive plan for holistic healing and change; and showing how to avoid relapses by building self-esteem.

 Not very helpful ( zkalisz19 )
I have suffered from binge eating/compulsive eating for about eight years... I have read a lot of literature, tried a couple apathetic therapists. I realize it is only up to me to really change my attitude, thoughts and of course actions. ANYWAY I purchased this book to help get in touch with my emotional and spiritual reasons for over eating, but it gave me less than satisfactory explanations. "Don't blame yourself" general answers, yeah I got that. Nothing to do with actual steps or specific roots to the problem.

The Taming of the Chew
Good basic book on the emotional and physical reasons why we overeat. This book is recommended to anyone who is just starting to address this issues.

The Taming of the Chew
After reading this book, I find that it hits close to the truth. What I like about this book is that it offers other books that delve further into specific issues. I find that it answers basic questions and allows for the reader to pick their specific issues and which books that may help the reader on that journey. Which is important because if this book held all of that information, it would be too large and readers would be daunted by that fact to even read it.

Rhetoric. Nice Rhetoric, But Still Rhetoric. ( adlibresources )
I was disappointed with this book. [...]
There is nice information included in "The Taming Of The Chew." Nice. Like talking to an understanding friend. But this book just isn't useful. If you are serious about ending compulsive eating, don't look for it inside this book.
I'm fifty-eight years old and never had a weight problem in my life . . . until two years ago. Suddenly I found myself snacking and cleaning my plate (which I'd never done before). It was making me angry at myself, and left me feeling sick. And I began to gain some weight. Two therapists could not figure out what was going on, so I began reading books on the subject.
The best book I've found concerning compulsive and obsessive eating is "The Hunger Within." [...]Again, "The Taming Of The Chew" is very much like talking to a friend. But if you want quick, real-life help, try "The Hunger Within."

 important information ( vickeljoy )
this book is very helpful for the many who overeat, or have a less than healthy relationship to food. the sections cover many of the most pertinent topics in an "digestible" format.
