Synopsis

What if you could stop eating, stop working at a bad job, stop a bad relationship—stop anything when you have had enough? Understanding WHY you eat can lead to real and lasting change—both in weight loss and all other areas of life. In You Are WHY You Eat, food becomes a digestible metaphor. Most of us are unable to walk away—from a plate of food or a bad situation. But instead of staying and trying to please others all the time, what would happen if you listened to your inner voice?

Dr. Ramani Durvasula reveals that how you eat and live often ties directly into the desire to please your stakeholders—parents, partners, friends, and society. Understanding WHY you eat will lead to real change and let you take back your life.

In You Are WHY You Eat, Dr. Ramani takes a fresh, brave, and edgy approach to self-help. Through real-life anecdotes and thought-provoking exercises, she gives you the tools you need to live on your terms. This powerful book will help you trust your gut, while making that gut smaller at the same time. And it will teach you to live a life that is bolder, more authentic, and less riddled with regret.

This book is about learning how to quit, when to quit, when to walk away, and how to acknowledge when you are full. It's about turning off the voices of the world and listening to the one that matters most: your own.

Goodreads review by Elena (bookinistka) on October 01, 2021

It has some good ideas and I guess they are achievable for some people with strong "spider senses" but the ones I found useful were not about diet but about relationships and their role in your eating habits. Family models, romantic partners and how they drive you to food as an escape and coping mec......more

Goodreads review by Deanna on November 10, 2012

I was so excited to get the book and there were things I really liked about the book, and things I took away from it. It was very hard to relate to the term spider sense, and it being repeated over and over on every page I found annoying, but that's just me. I did feel like it was more of the same a......more

Goodreads review by Heather on November 01, 2024

I’m shocked I finished this book. The title does not go with the content of the book. I think this book was more a relationship/life self help book than a diet/weight loss book. I really didn’t not understand how she came up with the title when 3/4 of the book had nothing to do with eating. Was it a......more

Goodreads review by Malia on June 15, 2022

I have great respect for Dr. Ramani, particularly because of her more recent research and expertise on NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder), so I picked up this earlier book by her on food choice psychology. She approaches weight loss and health on this premise: food is a metaphor. To illustrate......more

Goodreads review by Remah on March 27, 2019

This is not just a book, it is also a guide. Too often we set our intuition aside and make decisions based on the interests or input of others. Dr. Durvasula openly shares her process and journey to personal fulfillment through respecting and honoring oneself. This book inspired me to move away from......more
