Stuffed: how to feel so good about yourself you won't have room for cake

by Fadela Hilali

Do you eat for comfort?

Do you have a history of dieting?

Do you wish you could control yourself around food?

I wrote STUFFED just for you.

In the first of the Stuffed series, I help you explore the complex relationship between your beliefs, emotional habits and food. After reading this book, you will have all the practical insights you need to clearly see and break the comfort of the long established emotional patterns, habits and beliefs that keep holding you back. I draw on my extensive experience with clients and my own emotional eating journey to guide you on the path of feeling Stuffed.

There is no calorie-counting in this book, no smoothie recipes or airyfairy rituals. Whether you are a woman or a man, a seasoned dieter, an overeater, a worrier or just ‘good’ on weekdays, you are holding the tools you need to overcome emotional eating once and for all.

Stuffed is a state of mind that keeps you feeling good.

This is one of my go to book and I think it is one of those books that it won't be read and put on a shelf. You will keep referring to it and will go back to the pages you found yourself. The author very honestly shares some of her own experience which makes the whole book so real and so close to you if you are suffering with the same problems. It absolutely changed my relation with food so strongly recommend it!

I found this book really approachable and "friendly", which is rare in this subject area where it's either super prescriptive and full of rules, or rather superficial. Reading this book was like talking to a friend sharing her trials and triumphs and getting advice, as opposed to judgement and shame. It's also rather short so reading it isn't so daunting. If you have emotional eating issues you don't really want to have a bible-length book to get through, it's hard enough as it is, this is (pardon the pun) digestible and encouraging.

Great Book & Must Read!

I recently came across this book and was genuinely blown away by the value, personal stories and amazing insights the author, Fadela, shares throughout Stuffed.

For anyone who has been/going through an emotional eating journey or wanting to learn how to become more extraordinary, this is a great read to help you do just that.

A snapshot of the best strategies that make a real and impactful difference. Thank you so much!

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. This is a very honest and practical account of the damage of yo yo dieting and emotional eating and I gathered very useful insights into understanding what causes this behaviour. I would highly recommend Fadela's book and hope she will release the second book soon!

This book is a fantastic read! I would recommend to anyone who has been struggling with emotional eating or if you just want to understand and improve your relationship with food. It has helped my journey immensely! I The author is witty and fun with her writing, which adds lightness to what was a sensitive topic for me! Enjoy

This book reads more like a memoir with sparse information sprinkled throughout. I didn't learn anything that I hadn't already read before. I was given a free copy of this from Goodreads for an honest review.

Short with good strategies

This was a quick read with bare bones strategies/tips to combat emotional eating. I wanted a bit more, but for length it was a good introduction. The fat talk was a bit much, so beware if that is a sore spot for you.

[Yucca Aurovillian · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an a very insightful and personal book about emotional eating that is really easy to understand and filled with personal anecdotes that bring the subject to life. This is a great book for anyone struggling with emotional eating and who wants to learn to be compassionate with themselves.

I liked it

My favourite were the strategies to deal with the inner critic . Also the emphasis on exercise backed up with science. A quick easy read, I read it in 2 days.
