Food Triggers by Amber Lia Book Review

How do we manage those unruly portions at restaurants? Why are we eating leftovers from our kids' plates? How do we stop boredom munchies? Certified health coach Amber Lia exposes 31 common food struggles and offers solutions to unhealthy eating habits, so you can break free from the cycle of reactionary eating and shame and walk in victory.  

 My Thoughts:

 Eating unhealthy is so easy to do with our busy lives and Western diet. Trying to create healthy eating habits can be difficult and confusing. Going to the grocery store, diet fads, going out to eat, and even all the ads make food tempting to just make a quick and easy choice to our meals and snacking.

The book has three sections External Triggers, Internal Triggers, and The Journey Continues. Each topic in the sections can easily be read in a short sitting. This comes from a Christian Worldview with daily prayer at the forefront.

She explores several areas: When You Feel Defeated Before You Start, When Community Means Foods, When You Feed Your Emotions, When You Are Stressed, and other topics that are common when trying to control your Food Triggers.

She explores a lot of being good stewards of our bodies and that it takes spiritual discipline. She also says that our spiritual growth has a connection with what we eat.

 There is a lot of good information within this book  I agree with. Other things I wasn’t impressed with. I agree that we should take care of our bodies and watch what we eat but your eating habits don’t make you being on the outside of God’s plan for your life and other things mentioned (page 21) Yes, it takes self-control and discipline. Does it mean I’m sinful because of my food choices? So several things I can agree to disagree on and the other parts are pretty good.
