What Are You Hungry For?: The Chopra Solution to Permanent Weight Loss, Well-Being, and Lightness of Soul Kindle Edition

by Deepak Chopra (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
The basis for the PBS Special, What Are You Hungry For? is the breakthrough book that can bring weight under effortless control by linking it to personal fulfillment in every area of a reader's life.

After promoting this message worldwide for thirty years, bestselling author Deepak Chopra focuses on the huge problem of weight control in America with exciting new concepts. What are you hungry for? Food? Love? Self-esteem?  Peace? In this manual for "higher health," based on the latest findings in both mainstream and alternative medicine, Deepak Chopra creates a vision of weight loss based on a deeper awareness of why people overeat - because they are trying to find satisfaction and wind up using food as a substitute for real fulfillment.  Repudiating the failed approaches of crash dieting and all forms of deprivation, Chopra's new book aims directly at the problem of finding fulfillment.  When that problem is solved, he argues, normal eating falls into place automatically, and the entire system of mind and body achieves what it really desires.
 
“Everyone’s life story is complicated, and the best intentions go astray because people find it hard to change,” writes Chopra. “Bad habits, like bad memories, stick around stubbornly when we wish they’d go away. But you have a great motivation working for you, which is your desire for happiness. I define happiness as the state of fulfillment, and everyone wants to be fulfilled. If you keep your eye on this, your most basic motivation, then the choices you make come down to a single question: “What am I hungry for?” Your true desire will lead you in the right direction. False desires lead in the wrong direction.”
 
Wherever you are in life, this book will help point you in that right direction.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS TIME IT'S FOR REAL!
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2013

A book that isn't like the myriad of diet books & workout videos out there! Instantly, you loose the guilt and complexity of diet failures! There's lots of love in this book that's easily transferred to the reader to achieve greater understanding & love for our own spirit/soul & bodies. There is no favorite chapter in this book because each one opens a door of ah-ha moments that fit perfectly with everyday scenarios. I read the book in 2 days....couldn't put it down....didn't WANT to put it down! Permission to EMBRACE who I am...where I am AT THIS MOMENT! The ENLIGHTENMENT & PURITY introduced with simple explanations & visualizations take away the need for exhausting medical & soul searches about "what's happening to my body?" I GOT THE MESSAGE THIS TIME & it's a message that easy to apply with a DAILY awareness that I enjoy. Here's to a new healthy life that makes me happier than I could ever imagine....ps: When I made CONSCIOUS decisions about what no longer works with my new lifestyle, I had even more enjoyment by packing brown bag lunches and finding those that were homeless to distribute the much wanted food that no longer worked with my own awarenesses. Thank you Deepak Chopra!!!

Anyone at the end of their rope as it relates to weight loss should read this book. I've read about and tried nearly every "diet" to get my weight down. I truly believe this book holds the key for so many of us who have tried and failed at long term weight loss. For some reason I've easily embraced the message of this book and feel confident that I am on the right path to not only reach my optimal weight but to lead a more fulfilling life.

If your ready to take control of your life this book will help. You will learn the importance of being "aware" or "mindful". You will appreciate the idea of nourishing your body and realize that reaching to food for fulfillment is not where you will find it.

Well written and full of insight.

4.0 out of 5 stars Who is really the author?
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2014

Very good advice, as always, by Dr. Chopra, but is it really by Dr. Chopra"?

The Newport Beach (CA) librarians to whom I have shown this book find it absolutely fascinating!

Cover: "Deepak Chopra - bestselling Author of 'Ageless Body, Timeless Mind'", which looks like it is conveying the message that Dr. Chopra is also the author of this book.

First page: "Deepak Chopra, M.D., is the author of 'Ageless Body, Timeless Mind'", etc.

Next three unnumbered pages: Lists of books Dr. Chopra as authored or co-authored.

Fourth unnumbered page: Nearly identical to the cover.

Fifth unnumbered page. seven lines from the top: "Copyright @ 2013 by Deepak Chopra"

Fifth unnumbered page, eighth and ninth lines from the top: "Sam Parnia has asserted his right to be identified as the author of this work in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988".

In the words of the Newport Beach librarian at our local branch: "We have never seen anything like this!"

Conclusion: "Deepak Chopra" is a "thing", not a "person"?

But by whomever, it is a good book, well written, with good information.

5.0 out of 5 stars that many of us use food to try to satisfy other needs besides hunger
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2014

This book makes all kinds of sense to me. Deepak Chopra has hit on what SHOULD be obvious...that many of us use food to try to satisfy other needs besides hunger. And this gets us into trouble! His hypothesis-that our bodies know what they want naturally and will return to health if we listen to them-is accompanied by practical advice and a plan to get yourself back to the place where we naturally and easily lose weight and enjoy good health. It's a very interesting book that brings into play the ancient Indian practice of Ayurveda and asks us to pay attention. No gimmicks, no special foods or supplements required, and it puts the power to be healthy back into your hands. Give it a try, you won't regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A balanced approach to living a healthy life (and losing the weight you don't need)
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2014

Once again Deepak Chopra shows us how to manage our health and come back to what's important.
Just the title alone is helpful. When I am feeling stressed, or lonely, or thirsty, or worried, it's easy to turn to food for comfort and distraction. When I ask myself, "What am I hungry for?" I have an opportunity to understand my feelings and discover what I need. His book offers a wonderful combination or science, medicine, mindfulness, and yummy recipes for good health. Try his simple technique of S-T-O-P: Stop what you are doing, Take a minute breathing break, Observe the bodily sensation of hunger, and Proceed with awareness.
Thank you Deepak for your dedication to health and well-being.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's OK
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2014

This is a good book but I have recently cut out bread and grains (and have cut back a lot on sugar) and that in and of itself has removed my food cravings. I've been losing 1-2 lbs a week just from that and I'm not hungry and don't feel deprived. If you are going to buy this book because you think you are an emotional eater, try cutting the bread, grains, and sugar and see if that solves it. I thought I was just a pig with no self-control, now I realize I was just on a sugar roller-coaster. Try reading Wheat Belly or Grain Brain instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars at last

I have tried many diets but none go to the core of the body-mind-spirit as this book. I lost 10 pounds from the first page to last (about 4 weeks). Yeah granted i admire Chopra but i approached this book with skepticism assuming it was not Deepak' s field. I was wrong and i plan to lose more weight even if i need to re read it ( a thing i do not normally do) to remind me of the core concepts Chopra explains beautifully.
Because i am a physician i went fast in some parts but if you want one take home message only: think when you eat, do it slowly, enjoy the taste and do not overeat for the hunger you have and please you do not need to eat every 2 or 3 hours. At least for me that never worked.
