Publisher's summary

Do you feel out of control around food? Do you wonder why you can’t stop eating? Do you fear that you’ll gain weight forever?

How to Beat Extreme Hunger will teach you the way out–so you can live a life that’s free from feeling triggered, guilty, and food obsessed.

Autism and eating disorder recovery coach Livia Sara spent nearly a decade of her life trapped in the golden cage of restriction. From calorie counting to weighing food and tracking minutes exercised, her life revolved around rules and numbers. It wasn’t until she committed to recovery that a new beast was unleashed: extreme hunger.

Just like that, Livia’s hyper-controlled, perfect eating plan transformed into an insatiable hole of hunger. Thoughts about food tugged so hard that the only option was to eat until she felt physically sick…and yet she still wanted to eat more food.

If you resonate with Livia’s story, you’re not alone. Unlike most diet recovery methods that leave you feeling deprived and misunderstood, How to Beat Extreme Hunger takes a gender-inclusive and neurodiversity-affirming approach to making peace with food and your body.

In this book, you will learn:

- The science behind extreme hunger

- Why extreme hunger usually happens when you are “weight restored”

- How to tell the difference between true hunger and emotional eating

- The difference between extreme hunger and binge eating disorder

- How to stop bingeing at night

- How to heal digestive issues in eating disorder recovery

- Hormonal changes that occur in eating disorder recovery

- BONUS: Become trigger-proof and stop feeling guilty around food

- BONUS: Free yourself from labels, including those instilled on you by diet culture

If you want to break free from the cycle of bingeing and enjoy food without losing control, grab your copy of How to Beat Extreme Hunger today!

From the very first page, Livia's voice feels like that of a trusted friend who not only acknowledges your struggles but dives deep into the heart of them.

This book is a revelation – a beacon of truth in a sea of misconceptions. Livia fearlessly drops 'truth bombs' that illuminate the hidden aspects of our relationship with food and our bodies. Through her relatable candid storytelling, she unveils the seemingly 'harmless' behaviors that can stop us from overcoming extreme hunger.

...What sets How to Beat Extreme Hunger apart is Livia's willingness to address topics that most professionals overlook but should know. That's why this book is the key to recovery. Rooted deeply in authenticity, Livia's words serve as a lifeline for those lost in their struggles, resonating deeply with the soul. As you read, you feel deeply heard and understood.

As a food freedom and body love coach, I wholeheartedly believe that How to Beat Extreme Hunger is a game-changer for anyone seeking liberation from the grip of extreme hunger. I'll definitely be sending each of my clients a copy! If you're ready to embark on a journey that promises more than overcoming extreme hunger, your search ends here. This book is your guidebook to reclaiming your life and embracing true nourishment, inside and out.

Liv, you’re a freaking genius and a positive light in this world!" – Victoria Kleinsman, Food Freedom & Body Love Coach

"How to Beat Extreme Hunger is an engaging and comprehensive deep dive into understanding a very normal but often misunderstood part of the recovery process. Livia explores this phenomenon from multiple perspectives, helpfully dissecting different types of hunger, the nervous system, hormones, restriction, and much more. Livia is an engaging writer, delving thoroughly into the science of the extreme hunger experience whilst also drawing from her personal journey with deep authenticity and vulnerability. I highly recommend this book to anyone navigating eating disorder recovery!" – Harriet Frew, The Eating Disorder Therapist

"Liv takes the confusing and often frightening concept of 'extreme hunger' and makes it relatable, logical, and easier to understand. Anyone dealing with extreme hunger from restrictive eating disorders will likely benefit from the way Liv breaks down the what, how, and why of their seemingly out-of-control hunger patterns. With insights ranging from the cognitive, emotional, physical, physiological, and somatic (nervous system), this book is an empathetic and practical guide for getting through this messy part of recovery." – Stefanie Michele, Binge Eating and Body Image Coach]

Great informative listen

I found this audiobook easy to listen to and I liked the short chapters. Having suffered from anorexia and autism myself I can relate a lot to Liv.
She is an inspiration and shows that’s recovery can be done.
She explains things well, with understanding science and facts.

I get it! Finally my extreme hunger make sense.

After a lifetime of struggling with severe Binge Eating Disorder and Bulimia, I finally understand why I have not been able to guilt myself in to 'just getting over it'. Between rehab, therapy, medication, counselling, dietitians, various diets, studies in to addiction, and so so much grief, despair and self hatred...Finding Livia has brought me understanding! And with understanding comes the grace I have been seeking for my entire existence.
Whether you are autistic or not, do yourself a favor and invest in this life changing book. You will not be disappointed.
Overwhelmingly grateful for "HOW TO BEAT EXTREME HUNGER".
Much love
