Hanger Management: Master Your Hunger and Improve Your Mood, Mind, and Relationships

Product Information

One key finding of the hangry university student study* was that the more emotionally aware we are, the more successfully we are able to experience hunger, not hanger! I constantly deal with Hanger especially when swamped at work and either don't have time to go get a snack I packed or there are no snacks at my desk. This isn't really the type of book that's meant to be read cover-to-cover in one shot, but I found so many helpful tips and advice that I just kept turning the page for more. I appreciated understanding the scientific aspect of how hanger happens, and it was interesting to read about all the reasons that might cause us to reach for food.

Choose snacks that will satisfy you, that are rich in vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, and a sustainable source of energy. So much advice is tailored to certain types of people and specific diets that it restricts who really benefits from it. I didn’t feel judged, but able to recognize ways to avoid this reaction later which my husband, family and coworkers will all appreciate in the long run! Many of my clients are super-busy professionals who have, over the years, trained themseves to "push through" all sorts of discomfort to "get the job done".By learning to stay on top of your hunger cues, cultivating a better understanding of your appetite and creating a better overall relationship with food, you'll become a happier - and healthier - person for life.

Everyone knows the basics of healthy eating and habits, but the problem is always actually doing any of it. So much of my "hanger-management" strategy is focussed on becoming attuned to your body's signals when they are at the "whisper" stage (before they hit the hangry screaming stage). As the old song goes, “you always hurt the ones you love”, and that is especially true when it comes to hangry. It is far better to choose a snack that contains protein, healthy fats and whole, unprocessed carbohydrate.I think that it is easy to forget about what hunger means and the fact that there is almost always something underlying hunger. The box of donuts has long since been reduced to a pile of crumbs, and coffee ain’t cutting it at this point.

I give it five stars for it's subliminal working powers, but I have to subtract one for the first 1/4 or rambling stories.It's awful to feel constantly irritable and angry, especially if some simple changes could lead to you feeling a whole lot better, so do please consider a visit to your family doctor to help you find an experienced psychologist so you can work through some strategies to address the things that are causing you unnecessary stress, help you process your emotions, reduce your stress response or address any underlying health issues. There is just so many wonderful sections and each one is surprisingly helpful and NO its not a diet book it is simply a book that teaches you to be a mindful eater. The author Susan Albers captures the "Hanger" part of this book in a beautiful way and I especially love that the author works at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio.

So do a little planning, and make sure you have access to healthy snacks in case you need a between-meal boost. As a nutritional psychiatrist I often see people struggling with mood and anxiety due to how they eat, but here Dr. Susan Albers does a really great job writing about the causes and effects that eating improperly does. Being too hungry to work out happens, but when you’re hangry, a protein bar just isn’t going to cut it.
