Product Description
Weight detriment advice, laughter, as well as impulse from a delicious, caloric, nonetheless uncomfortably vast hold up practice of a before fat man.
Allen Zadoff outlayed years logic which a big, full of health male should have a big, full of health ardour as well as which his fast augmenting girth was no some-more than a unchanging man thing.
At 350 pounds, however, it became transparent which what had proposed as a small weight complaint was destroying his life. Desperate to find a brand new approach of vital which would lift him in to skinny as well as beyond, Zadoff began to concentration reduction upon what he ate, as well as some-more upon a earthy as well as romantic underpinnings of what he came to assimilate as a disease. The pounds melted away, as well as so began a tour of a lifetime.
Following Zadoff’s implausible tour both up as well as down a scale, Hungry blends his personal story with startling strategies for weight detriment success; it is as laugh-out-loud droll as it is inspirational.

Posted on December 7th, 2009 at 2:49 pmI can’t believe such a terrible book can be reviewed so highly. I think he didn’t say anything everyone who has a problem with food doesn’t know. IN fact he doesn’t really reveal himself at all. He uses thumor to hide behind rather than tell the truth. How does such a skimpy book get published?. He hints O.A is the only answer to overeating. He never explains what home problems kept his addiction active. I find it cruel to give hope to others with one method while telling us nothing else works. Everyone is differet and what works is different. This book is not quite a memoir, not quite a self help book,not quite a book. It is said to be a non diet book but I felt like I had been put on a skimpy diet with this badly written book. sorry. but I could write a more truthful book in my sleep and I have kept off sixty pounds. Hey, let me write a book. Save your money and time on this one. I felt cheated.

Posted on December 7th, 2009 at 2:52 pmBeing overweight myself and dealing with the very same issues, I came away from Hungry feeling better about myself. I am not alone and there are others who suffer the same way I do. What a relief. Zadoff’s writing encouraged me to look within and finally stop trying to weasel my way out of dealing with the real issue – I am a food addict. It has made a real difference in my approach to eating. If you’re looking for a book that puts the truth in your face then this is for you. If you want something that says, it’s ok you’re fat, it’s not your fault, you don’t have any responsibility in this – don’t bother to read this. Some of us are plagued by our own monsters, we grow up and we have to get real, by then you’re addicted to the very thing that brought you pleasure. Great book and a real catharsis.

Posted on December 7th, 2009 at 4:36 pmAllen Zadoff is that rare weight loss success story — he has maintained a 150 pound weight loss over a twelve year period. My hat is off to him… that is a major accomplishment. Who better to write a book about weight loss? Zadoff overcame years of misery after a spiritual transformation allowed him to balance his extreme life. After diagnosing himself as a food addict, he conquered his addiction by appropriating 12-step rules, such as belief in a higher power and complete abstinence from his “trigger foods.” He doesn’t claim it’s easy, but the overly swift quality of the writing at times makes it seem like anyone could do it.
“Hungry” is a very easy read — I finished it in about 3 hours. Like many in the “self-help” genre, it can’t resist blaming the reader by implying that less than full compliance with the rules will lead to less than complete success. This is a standard — if you fail, it’s because you haven’t fully embraced the path. At times Zadoff is a little too glib — it’s like the CliffNotes approach to memoir. Overall though, this is a revealing read. If you’re curious about long term success at weight loss, this will give you a few clues.

Posted on December 7th, 2009 at 5:51 pmthere comes a point in your life when you realize that you have to change things. sometimes you just don’t understand how or why, but you know it’s gotta happen…. this book made so much sense to me because food is something that i really struggled with. i’m not the kind of person who needs the “next big thing” or the latest “fad diet.” i needed real advice, and something i could do. this is a book that i could (and plan on) reading over and over again. if you want a quick fix, look elsewhere. but if you want some real advice then look no further! everything about this book is perfect…

Posted on December 7th, 2009 at 8:49 pmThis book is refreshing compared to other books about weight loss. Allen says this isn’t a diet book, but I disagree. After reading this book, I had a new perspective on food and what it meant to me as well. I’ve already changed my habits!
This book is better than a diet book. It shows the reader the trials and trubulations from a real person. Allen tells us his story in a humorous way, which made me laugh at myself and helped me gain a new approach to food.
Great read! I’ve recommended the book to several reading groups!
