In his new book, ‘The Hunger Habit,’ Dr. Judson Brewer explains how we can train our brains to resist tempting foods. He addresses the complex relationship many people have with food and offers a 21-day plan to break bad eating habits. By understanding the habit loops that keep us trapped in overeating, Dr. Brewer challenges readers to become more aware of their behaviors and make positive changes. Through mindfulness and self-awareness, we can reset our relationships with food and develop healthier eating habits. The 21-day challenge outlined in the book has been successful for many people in breaking free from overeating and maintaining a healthy weight.
He writes that we often fall into the habit of criticizing ourselves for our unhelpful habits. In reality, self-kindness is more beneficial than self-judgment when it comes to making changes in our lives and habits.
By breaking free from unhealthy eating patterns, eating can become an “act of mindful self-care and pleasure.”
