Hunger is emotional, hunger is spiritual, and hunger is universal. Overweight or not, our relationship with food is symbolic of our relationship with ourselves, and our hunger for food is symbolic of a deeper hunger that seeks to be understood. We are hungry for connection, for belonging, for understanding and for meaning.

For over fifteen years, Dr. Adrienne Youdim has guided hundreds of people through their weight loss journeys. Through her extensive clinical experience, she understands that weight loss is not just a matter of calories. A change in our relationship with food can have a rippling effect transforming every aspect of our lives. With a desire to help others navigate the same waters she encounters in patient interactions every day, Dr. Youdim shares personal and patient stories, medical commentary and scientific research to help us understand our hunger once and for all. Hungry for More, Stories and Science to Inspire Weight Loss from Within is a blend of story and science to get to the heart of what we are truly hungry for.

Follow along with her in this inspiring book as she and her clients discover the real triggers behind weight gain and how to conquer them for once and for all. These insightful, memorable essays on medical weight loss uncover the emotional and spiritual hunger behind our lifestyles and offer proven advice for overcoming them to achieve wellness and well-being. This inspirational and empowering book won't just help you lose a few pounds. It will fundamentally alter the way you look at yourself-in the mirror and beyond.

5 out of 5 stars
This is not a diet book.
There is so much to learn from this book! Dr. Youdim shares personal stories and scientific observations to teach us more about hunger and weight loss. So many emotions are behind the feeling of hunger. I can find myself in every chapter. The chapter that really hit home for me is hunger for boundaries. My most favorite quote from the book is “time does not exist, it is created “. I love taking my time for each chapter and think about each chapter after reading it. This is a MUST read book for everyone! I would definitely give it way more than 5 stars !

    TLDR:
    Easy read, stories are relatable and universal, feels like the author is talking to you over a cup of coffee.

    Typically I'm weary of books in the self help section and absolutely stay away from books in the diet section, but a friend kept suggesting I read this so I said why not. First this is not a "diet" book or even really a "self help" book, it's really a collection of stories and insights from Dr. Youdim on topics and challenges that effect all of us. While her patients all start with a question on weight or weight loss the lessons are very broad and universal without that preachy feeling of someone at some seminar telling you how to fix your life. Chapters are quick each circles around a patient story but is full of personal experiences and insights from Dr. Youdim's own stories and thoughts. She's super genuine and it makes reading feel less like reading a book and more like a conversation with a friend.

    Reading this book is like listening to a close friend who knows you well share with you her journey to a higher self awareness. This book stops you in your track so you can ask yourself some very important questions about what are you really missing in your life and what is it in your life that you crave the most. It is a fun and easy read but at the same time very stimulating and thought provoking. It makes you dig deep inside your soul and your psyche and take a good scan of your emotions and explore what is it in life that you are REALLY hungry for. I now wake up every day asking myself what is it that I am hungry for today and how can I nourish my soul and my body to contentment. Having this awareness has truly been an incredible experience and a game changers or me. I highly recommend this book to everyone specially those who are on the journey of self awareness, self love and self acceptance.

    I always felt so hard on myself about my weight... watching my mom and now me yo yo through life. I have done a lot of work on myself but the one thing that has eluded me as far as "figuring it out" is my weight. This book is written by a woman doctor who has all the most prestigious weight loss doctor credentials... yet it is a personal take on the stories of her clients and most poignantly of HERSELF that helped me bridge in my head the WHY I would overeat or make poor choices. It's like sitting down with a girlfriend and pouring your hearts out to each other.... cathartic and vulnerable and heart centering. We are all driven by different things which makes us so imperfectly human, yet I found myself looking into a mirror chapter after chapter. What was heartening is that the doctor herself talks about her own personal struggles and experiences and it not only helped me feel not so alone, but to have compassion for myself and through that compassion, I can make better choices for my health. I see now that I was sabotaging myself due to failed past attempts. This is one of many chapters that resonated true for me "Hungry for Possibility": "People are often discouraged by past attempts. The burden of having not been successful, of knowing we once lost weight only to regain it keeps us from giving ourselves a chance for a different result. Whatever the experience, positive or negative, rumination on the past will taint us, impede our ability to start anew, and dissuade us from the possibility for something more." She then talks about the Buddhist principle "Shoshin" or "Beginners Mind"- where you approach every act as if doing it for the first time. So many nuggets here... I will be buying copies for my friends and family. We are all WORTH IT!

    This book is a beautiful compilation of human stories. Dr. Youdim‘s expertise shines through in these shared experiences of not only what has happened for her patients, but how her patients have impacted her, and how these experiences have affected her. There is a seamless flow between patient and physician experience in this collection of powerful and illustrative vignettes. The reader can see themselves in almost every story. Because the stories are so relatable, it has an impact on the reader and helps them feel supported. The struggles around weight in our society are pervasive, yet lonely, and this book gives strategies, encouragement, and hope. Thank you, Dr. Youdim, for having the patience with your patients, and for honoring them and yourself in these stories that will, no doubt, positively impact readers and help them identify what it really is that they’re hungry for, deep down.

    This book is everything. So much of our struggles with food and weight loss have nothing to do with food and so much more to do with our emotions and what's missing in life. This book gets to the deeper layers of our habits and the deep meaning behind food, tradition, eating, and how all those are wrapped up in a complex web.

    Dr. Youdim is candid and vulnerable with her own struggles which makes this book so relatable. So many times I couldn't help but say, "me too" as I was reading along.

    Do yourself a favor and read this book and give it to all your friends. It will feed your soul.

    I started to read this book because for years I have struggled with my weight and I have a terrible relationship with food. However, this book has given me way more than yet another diet! It gave me multiple a tories that influenced my way of thinking and behaved. This new found behaviours have already helped me lost weight and also inspired me to take control of my life in a different way.
    I realised that, I too have multiple hungers!
    I loved this book so much! I think I’ll be reading it again soon. Also, she mentions other books within her book which are rather inspiring so I know feel I have now unlocked this whole world of inspiring mind changing books.
