The author does seem to have followed the principles of Intuitive Eating to find his own happy place, which is great for him. But rather than guiding you to your own conclusions and happy place, he presents his own diet as "this is the way it should be." He does say "it's ok" to eat some of the "bad" stuff because we have a "junk margin." But, I mean, if you want to eat stuff in "the junk margin..." Well, "junk" is a pretty clear indication of what the author thinks of your eating habits, and another assignation of morality. The first error lowers the impact of his statements about everything, and the second ensures that the readers stays in the diet trap. (And I'm not so sure about the arguments he presents for his particular diet, either.) As you see, Allen Carr’s diet book is not a diet book at all. It is a way to change your eating habits, a way to convince yourself you can lose weight and become healthy and happy with your shape. My main issue with it

He takes his recommendations too far and tells the reader that if you're going to revise your eating habits, you're going to have to change your diet to vegan.Pay attention to the way you combine food groups for optimal digestion: do not mix proteins from Column A with starches in Column C in the same meal. I am going to go through the book again and highlight only the parts that I find relevant. Maybe through doing this, I will be less distracted by the stuff I didn't connect with. YouTube sets this cookie to register a unique ID to store data on what videos from YouTube the user has seen. So, I'll keep going. I'll try to only eat when I'm hungry, to eat more fruits, vegetables, and grains, and to avoid the addictive junk that saps me of energy and makes my brain sluggish.

I could continue, but I won't, since this is supposed to be a book review. Suffice it to say that this factually inaccurate statement calls into question the rest of his assertions. He doesn't include footnotes or cite sources. So every time he says, "Your body works this way," I got more and more dubious. Sure, some of it I knew to be true, but a lot of it, I couldn't trust. don’t start off with a feeling of doom and gloom because you feel you can’t have the food you really want, start off celebrating that you’ve finally worked out how to be free from the poisons that made you overweight. SO REVOLUTIONARY. Look, I'm sure this method has helped people. And if anything, it HAS helped me by having me think more carefully about which foods are easy to digest (water-rich non-processed foods,) which ones aren't (processed foods, meat, dairy,) and by reminding me to pay more attention to what my stomach is telling me. If I'm still hungry after polishing off a bag of potato chips, it's probably because my body hasn't received the nutrients it needs, and no amount of junk food is going to fill that hole (nevermind the emotional void caused by stress and anxiety, but that's another story.) If you’ve been on endless diets, low carb, high fat or otherwise and your current favourite foods are bread, pasta, rice, fries/potatoes then there is every chance that you have an issue with sugar addiction.Some foods are easier to digest than others: fruit is ideal, but the meat will make you sleepy as its digestion is more difficult. Las verduras sin almidón (con alto contenido en agua) se pueden digerir con jugos ácidos o alcalinos, así que pueden ser combinadas con proteínas (carne, pescado, aves y productos lácteos) o con hidratos de carbono (pan, arroz, pasta, patatas o cereales).'
