I'D KILL FOR A COOKIE: A SIMPLE SIX-WEEK PLAN TO CONQUER STRESS EATING
Mitchell, Susan
1997 19277 ABOUT THE BOOK I'd Kill for a Cookie: A Simple Six-Week Plan to Conquer Stress Eating ANNOTATION Millions of Americans reach for a pint of Ben & Jerry's when the going gets tough--only to hate themselves later. In this liberating and accessible book, two nutrition experts offer the first practical, step-by-step program for overcoming the urge to use food as an antidote to tension. 240 pp. National publicity. Print ads. 25,000 print. FROM THE PUBLISHER Is it a coincidence that desserts spelled backward is stressed? Maybe so, yet two of every three people react to the daily stressors in life by craving sweets or salt, bingeing, overeating, or, in some cases, not eating at all. This groundbreaking book, written by two prominent nutritionists, offers a simple plan that stops stress eating in its tracks. The innovative, easy-to-understand EAT (Energy-Action Team) Plan consists of six exciting "stress-less" strategies that teach you how to identify the stressors in your life and the corresponding reactions, and how to incorporate appropriate new behaviors into any kind of lifestyle. Planning strategies and time-management tips help you increase your daily energy levels and personal productivity while easing stress and avoiding the temptation to indulge. Questionnaires, checklists, goal plans, shopping schedules, stress-and-eating diaries, and self-tests to determine individual responses to different types of food all make I'd Kill for a Cookie a highly individualized and adaptable program that is supported by a collection of innovative recipes for quick, nutritious, and tasty meals. FROM THE CRITICS Publishers Weekly While the title appears to target women whose eating is out of control (real men don't crave cookies), the program set forth by Florida nutritionists Mitchell and Christie offers sound advice for stressed-out members of both sexes. Their approach to stress eating, called the EAT Plan, an acronym for Energy Action Team, is based on strategies to alleviate stress, stop excessive food cravings, improve mood management and increase energy while promoting relaxation. The authors frown on self-denial, warning that hunger leads to cravings, which lead to overindulgence. They recommend frequent small meals, featuring antioxidant-rich and phytochemical-laden fruits (e.g., peaches) and vegetables (e.g., broccoli) and grains, with calming carbohydrates and energy-boosting proteins scheduled according to one's individual circadian biorhythm. Besides tips on stocking one's pantry and dining out, there's advice on exercise and using a variety of techniques for coping with stress. Self-help fans will welcome the outline format with its many worksheets, self-assessment quizzes, checklists and step-by-step instructions. (Mar.) Penguin Group (USA) 0-525-94142-8 / 9780525941422
