This book provides an alternative approach to losing weight by addressing the underlying thoughts and emotions behind problematic eating patterns and negative body image...it is a breath of fresh air and addresses the core issues associated with weight issues..."

The book has married Jen's own inspiring story with ideas and suggestions that helped her and are useful to others. I especially agree with her approach to emotions.

Jung said, "Neurosis is always a substitute for legitimate suffering" and I have found his words to be true with the many addicted clients I have worked with. The book also attests to this truth with the exploration of emotional eating and food addiction.

Jen explains in detail how to identify the disturbing emotions underlying food obsession and how to address them. Congratulations on a book that will help many."

WOW! is my first reaction upon reading Jen Gallagher’s new book Lose Weight Peacefully. What a fresh approach from the usual weight loss books that focus mostly on food and exercise only. Jen’s book is easy and interesting to read, her writing is from the heart…so open and honest, and that is what makes it better than most of the other weight loss books.

Jen’s approach is holistic and encompasses our most powerful weight loss tool, our mind. If we don’t challenge and then change the patterns which compel us to reach for the unhealthy foods and not want to exercise in the first place, the weight loss journey just becomes a merry go round. You lose the weight in the enthusiasm of your next new program, reach a certain point then fall back into bad habits, put the weight on and so it goes, each time confusing your body and making it store more fat.

I thoroughly recommend it because I used to work as a weight loss coach many years ago and Jen’s approach is easier, more effective, maintainable and healthier in the long run."

My husband was at war with his weight for over 20 years and I didn't help when we go married--he gained 10 kg per year we since we got married in 2002. After reading Jen's book he stopped fighting the war against food, he started losing weight. Within one year he has lost over 20cm around his waist and nearly 20kgs.

As for me, after reading Jen's book, I found my inner self. Now when I say I deserve it--I honour myself with great food that is worthy of me, not sweets.

Having a family that is at peace with food means life has just got better and better for all of us."
