Do you constantly think about food? Do you fear that you’ll lose control if you give into your cravings? You’re not alone – and there’s nothing wrong with your body or brain.
In How to Beat Extreme Hunger, neurodivergent eating disorder recovery coach Livia Sara delves into the biological mechanisms behind extreme hunger, explaining why it happens and how to navigate it.
Through a blend of science and lived experience, she tackles the fears that keep you stuck: uncontrollable weight gain, becoming “addicted” to food, developing binge eating disorder, and beyond.
