The authors provide research-based instructions and exercises to help overcome emotional overeating; rewire the sugar-, fat-, and salt-loving brain; conquer exercise aversion; and transform body image. Greene adds to the usual weight-loss literature by going behind the scenes to, e.g., stress that critical to staying with an exercise program is finding a personally significant motivation for doing it.
