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.
