The Cliff Notes:
- Emotions aren't necessarily the primary cause of an eating disorder but they may lead to one.
- Setting day-specific diet limits is an effective way to prevent binging.
- Junk food essentially makes you high from overloading your tastebuds with pleasure.
- Food advertisements can influence you even if you think they don’t.
- Treat your voice just as if it’s not part of you.
- By setting a strict systematic limit on your consumption, it becomes easier to ignore random impulse cravings.
- Your feelings should not determine your food consumption.
- When you know you’ll never have a specific food again, you’ll stop craving it.
