Emotional Eating

Mary Knox · 2019
62/100
👎 Skip It

Mary Knox covers the right territory — brain chemistry, eating triggers, workbook self-assessment, meal planning — and the all-in-one format is genuinely accessible for readers who do not know where to start. The self-published origin means the clinical underpinning is not independently validated, and this is emphatically not a substitute for professional treatment of diagnosable eating disorders. As an entry-level orientation for adults starting to understand their relationship with food, it does the job; as a recovery resource, it needs professional support alongside it.
