So let’s start or by saying I have read a LOT of self help and dieting tip books over the years. I always gain some good insight and tips from every book— the little takeaways. However, this book was somewhat of an eye opener for me. I originally read this on my kindle and there were so many “noteworthy” and “aahHa” moments for me that I decided to buy the hardcopy version. That’s saying a lot! Here is a more comprehensive review:
1. Practical Approach: “This Is What You're Really Hungry For" by Geneen Roth offers a practical and down-to-earth approach to transforming one's relationship with food. The six simple rules presented in the book are easy to understand and implement, making it accessible to a wide audience.
2. Emotional Eating Insight: Is this you?? If so— read this book. NOW! The book delves deep into the psychological aspects of eating and provides valuable insights into emotional eating. It helps readers identify their triggers and emotional connections to food, paving the way for healthier choices and habits.
3. Empowering:Roth's book empowers readers to take control of their relationship with food. It encourages a shift from dieting and restriction to a more mindful and intuitive approach to eating. This empowerment can lead to long-lasting, positive changes in one's life.
4. Real-life Stories: Everyone loves a relatable story. The book is enriched with real-life stories and case studies, making it relatable to readers who may have struggled with their eating habits. These stories illustrate the transformative power of the principles discussed in the book.
5. Holistic Approach:"This Is What You're Really Hungry For" takes a holistic approach to health, emphasizing the connection between mind, body, and spirit. It encourages readers to nourish themselves not only through food but through self-compassion and self-awareness.
I honestly had to do some searching for cons- but if I had to list a few, here it goes:
1. Repetitive Content:Some readers may find the content to be somewhat repetitive. The author revisits certain concepts and anecdotes, which could make the book feel longer than necessary.
2. May Not Suit All Dietary Preferences: While the book promotes a healthy and mindful approach to eating, it may not cater to individuals with specific dietary preferences, such as those following strict vegan or keto diets. It focuses more on the psychological aspect of eating rather than specific dietary recommendations.
3. Lack of Meal Plans:For readers seeking structured meal plans or specific dietary guidelines, this book may not provide the level of detail they desire. It is more about changing the mindset and relationship with food rather than providing meal plans.
4. Requires Self-Reflection:Implementing the principles discussed in the book may require a significant amount of self-reflection and introspection, which may not be appealing or practical for all readers. It's a process that demands time and commitment.
5. Not a Quick Fix:This book is not a quick-fix solution for weight loss or dietary changes. It encourages a long-term approach to transforming one's relationship with food, which may not be suitable for those seeking rapid results.
In summary, "This Is What You're Really Hungry For" offers a practical and empowering approach to improving one's relationship with food. It provides valuable insights and real-life stories, and I found its emphasis on mindset over specific dietary recommendations helpful to committing to a long term goal and lifestyle changes for greater fulfillment.

Five stars from a fitness expert
I own multiple businesses in the fitness space and have never seen diets work - not for one client, ever. Kim’s message in THIS IS WHAT YOU’RE REALLY HUNGRY FOR changes the game. Her perspective is simple, easy to apply and cuts through the noise. I thought I knew a lot about this topic and was encouraged and challenged to improve my own habits and bring her rules to light. This book traveled with me around the world - it didn’t feel like a “work” read but also not wasting time at the beach read. It keeps your attention, inspires self improvement and leads with encouragement. I’d give it ten stars if I could.
