On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on eating and weight disorder specialist at the University of Michigan, Marilyn Ann Migliore. Her work is designed to uncover and dismantle the psychological forces which drive eating behaviors. She said that 75% of overweight people eat for emotional reasons. Diet and exercise provide a temporary solution so in order to better control your eating you have to understand the why and the how. She said that a lot of bariatric patients switch their obsession from food to other things like gambling and sex. She wrote the breakthrough book The Hunger Within, An Enlightening Journey to Recovery from Compulsive Eating 10 years ago and she shared some of her best weight loss tips from the book and her workshop. She says to start at one behavior you’d like to change then figure out why by identifying the life script that was written when you were a child. To learn more please go to www.thehungerwithin.com
