"An innovative work dealing with the fundamental precursor to all our addiction (and similar) woes: mental chatter that torments and leads in every direction but to stability and peace. Dr. Lisa Ortigara Crego wants her patients and readers to be free of their obsessive drunken monkey thoughts and details many avenues to a quiet mind in her easy-to-read book filled with strategies and provocative case studies."

Release Your Obsession with Diet Chatter, Heal from the Inside Out is one of the few books to "distill the essence" of defining the problem and offering a solution to our addictive and destructive relationship with food and dieting."Dr. Lisa" provides the reader with the unique perspective of someone who has both the personal experiences and professional knowledge to recover from the tyranny of food addiction, compulsive dieting, and disordered eating. Her book incorporates several tenets of evidence- based approaches to address the emotional, physical, and spiritual dis-ease with which eating disorders, food addiction, and addictive illnesses all have in common. Personally, as someone who has worked in the field of treating eating disorders and addictive diseases for more than forty years, I found her book to be both validating and in formative and heartily recommend it to anyone who has an interest in making peace with themselves and their body.

Obsessed with food, obsessed with weight? Dr. Lisa Ortigara Crego in Release the Obsession with Diet Chatter: Heal from the Inside Out offers a book full of ways to harness the mind. Since the Body knows it is food addicted and the Spirit knows the truth, we acknowledge that "only the Mind can lie". How do we override established diet-brain chatter? Since it is a psychological truth that we move toward our dominant thought, embracing the ideas in this book will serve the reader to develop a powerful recovery mind. And the truth does set us free from obsessive thoughts and compulsive behavior. Throughout the book Dr. Lisa reminds us that no matter what is the question, loving thoughts are the answer. Her quote from Sophocles underlines the theme of this book--One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love. This very valuable book is beautifully written and a joy to read.

Gets to the Core of Weight-Related Struggles November 22, 2018 Format: Kindle Edition
The biggest enemy to solving our various health challenges is the human mind, stuck on habits and fixations that may well do us harm over doing us good. Author Dr. Lisa Ortigara Crego follows her myth-busting, revelatory *Release the Obsession with Food: Heal from the Inside Out* with a compelling examination in her newly published *Release Your Obsession with Diet Chatter: Heal from the Inside Out* of what’s actually behind addictive behavior of all types, most particularly destructive eating and diet habits.
Our minds are giving us the wrong information, chattering away, urging damaging patterns of behavior that leave us (and often our family members) overweight, underweight, undernourished, stressed, unhappy, and in ill health.
Probably the best thing about this book: the riveting stories of everyday humans beset by all the above and how Dr. Lisa helps them deal with their problems through her unique approach to therapy—a therapy we can apply on our own in many cases (as she instructs us here).
This is another warm-hearted book by someone who confesses to her early difficulties in life and tells how she overcame them. Dr. Lisa Ortigara Crego details approaches that will work for the rest of who struggle with our wrong-headed efforts to conquer weight-related issues. Anyone who has an addictive behavior or needs to look at how they’re thinking about their lives will both enjoy reading the book and benefit from it. G. Miki Hayden
