Do you crave chocolate, bread, cheese, fries, or other foods? If so, there's a reason why, as Doreen Virtue's breakthrough book explains. Each food craving actually corresponds to a specific underlying emotion; so once you understand the meaning behind your particula craving and apply the information and affirmations within these pages, you'll be able to heal your cycle of emotional overeating. In addition, you'll read scientific studies about the mood- and energy-altering properties of each food, which will help you see how your appetite perfectly mirrors your emotions. This comprehensive and empowering guide will also show you how to give "food readings" to yourself and others, allowing you to accurately interpret the meaning behind many cravings. Constant Craving is a one-of-kind book that will give you the emotional, physical, and spiritual tools you need to make friends with food . . . and your appetite!
I picked up this book to add to my ABC collection and because I thought the idea was interesting—that our affinity for certain foods has an emotional connection. Now I have a thing for cupcakes. Almost all flavors and combinations appeal to me—I like the surprise of tasting something different. Virtue has a section on cake, addressing the probable meaning by flavor, none very positive—anxiety, fear, insecurity, etc. So, while I find some of her theories interesting, I’m not sure I buy it. It’s a nicely organized book though, with colorful illustrations.
