Review

"I whole-heartedly recommend Release Your Obsession with Diet Chatter: Heal from the Inside Out by Dr. Lisa Ortigara Crego. The advice contained can help anyone who finds self-doubt and negative voices pulling them down. Do not miss this if you face any challenges in this area," Laurence O'Brien, Author"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." G. Miki Hayden Author: Jesus of Nazareth, Boy and Man: A Novel of the Lost Years; The Naked Writer

"Release Your Obsession with Diet Chatter, Heal from the Inside Outis 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. " Marty Lerner, Ph.D CEO, Milestones In Recovery, Inc.

"Obsessed with food, obsessed with weight? Dr. Lisa Ortigara Crego in Release the Obsession with Diet Chatter: Heal from the Inside Outoffers a book full of ways to harness the mind... This very valuable book is beautifully written and a joy to read." Kay Sheppard, LMHC, Author: Food Addiction: The Body Knows: From the First Bite; Food Addiction: Healing Day by Day; Absolutely Abstinent

From the Author

Often, I'm asked how this book ever came intobeing, and I think the best answer is that after I wrote my first book, Releaseyour Obsession with Food: Heal from the Inside Out, I realized my work wasn't done butrather only beginning. To unravel and correct eating disorders takes tappinginto the many realms of the travel from eating disorders to eating recovery,from negative chatter to positive chatter, to eating healthful foods no matterwhere you are or who you are with, whether on the weekend out to eat or inanother state or country. The latter is only a secondary issue here but will bea major focus in my third book on how to release your obsession with food onvacation, weekends, and holiday.
 
The end result I've tried to produce in ReleaseYour Obsession with Diet Chatter: Heal from the Inside Outis a blend of a spiritual slant on dietobsessions, together with practical, down-to-earth advice. I want to helpreaders learn how to live more fully day to day in order to break fromnegative, compulsive, diet thoughts (or any form of negative thoughts for thatmatter).    

Most important I wrote this book forus, who are alone with the drunken monkey diet thoughts every single day and trying to control it and not let itcontrol us. I wrote because living with an addiction to specific foods thatresult in compulsive overeating is an unsolicited and difficult path to venturealone. I know when I was struggling with obsessing and bingeing on food I hadno idea where to turn. I was lost and scared and didn't understand why Icouldn't stop eating to the point my weight was nearly 100 pounds over thesuggested healthy weight.  I thought something was wrong with me.

Release Your Obsession with DietChatter: Heal from the Inside Outreveals how we can mold and transformevery day of our lives into authentic vibrant and passionate spiritualexpressions of a higher consciousness while obtaining relief and resolution ofnever-ending negative, compulsive diet thoughts (or any form of negativethoughts for that matter).

Unlock Your Obsessed Mind
This book is a treasure, a must for those who struggle with eating issues and addictions. Actually, its wisdom extends beyond those two categories, into any struggle no matter how it might be manifesting in your behavior. There is no one as wise as someone who has both experienced a condition, studied it scientifically and mastered it eventually. The author tells her story with a commendable honesty and treasured insight. She guides the reader through the process of the chaotic, addicted, eating disordered mind with her own understanding and through the compelling stories of her clients. Having brilliantly exposed the processes involved, she then invites readers to examine their own situations with simple yet critical questions and follows up by expounding on various treatments – and pseudo-treatments – paraded as cures. As someone who has run both outpatient and inpatient eating disorder programs, I can’t recommend this book highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for dieting . . .and more!

First I must say that I truly admire the up front honesty that Dr. Lisa starts with. I know it is not easy to admit some of the past experiences that led up to the writing of her book. But I feel that her past has helped to write such a deep, thought-provoking story. I feel that she writes for MANY who have gone through similar or different experiences, and came out on the other side courageously.

ONE of the main points that made me stop and examine my own thought process, is the "Mindless Negative Drunken Monkey Chatter" which Dr. Lisa terms, that our own minds incessantly throw at us. And how this negativity hurts us much more that it helps. For those who are trying to lose weight through dieting and proper eating, this Mindless Negative Drunken Monkey Chatter is even worse. It helps to justify the poor eating choices that are made. Lisa makes one point that stuck with me on this subject. "No matter what diet you choose/start, if you don't reduce the Mindless Negative Drunken Monkey Chatter, your chance of success on ANY diet are very slim."

But her advice has much larger implications. For ANYTHING in life you want to succeed in, the Mindless Negative Drunken Monkey Chatter absolutely will not help you to achieve success. Whether it be dieting, sports, academics, etc. you must reduce and/or stop the Mindless Negative Drunken Monkey Chatter. The Mindless Negative Drunken Monkey Chatter lives in you . . . you don't live in it. (As Dr. Lisa states) Then to take long term positive action toward reaching your dieting goals.

This book offers ways to control the Mindless Negative Drunken Monkey Chatter effectively and to slowly work towards achieving better health and mindfulness. I honestly think you can (again) use her techniques for much more than dieting. There was a recent Gatorade commercial that features athletes doing their thing, then at the end it gave this message: WIN FROM WITHIN!

I want to emphasize that in this review, I specfically spelled out the Mindless Negative Drunken Monkey Chatter (MNDMC) to help all who read it to examine their own Mindless Negative Drunken Monkey Chatter, and to take positive actions to reduce or end it. No matter what goal you are going for, which includes dieting.

I think this book will help you to not only win from within your dieting struggles, but life's battles as well.

First of all thank you Dr. Lisa for the knowledge you shared about eating disorders. After reading your book I know that I am never alone in this darkness. Many experiences you shared reminded me of actions I had taken with food. I thought I was alone in such behavior. The sad thing is I continued several times, but then came the same chatter as you mentioned

When it came to the Personal Inventory Questions I was able to reflect and review my own behavior and make adjustments of positive change. This book makes me want to yell at the top of a mountain and say “you’re not a bad person you just have an illness.” To love myself is something I have a hard time doing for I always put someone or something before me.

Dr. Lisa’s book gives real every day solutions to quiet the diet chatter once and for all. Once again…many thanks. My chatter is not only food based but also thought based that takes up most my inner space. To be free of this chatter I will grow as a person not only physically but also mentally.

I can go on and on but right now the road I am taking is curved but a straight one is ahead and this is through the words found in “Release Your Obsession with Diet Chatter”. Hoping there is another one in the making for I say, “keep them coming!”

5.0 out of 5 stars A Holistic Approach to Changing Your Inner Chatter
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2019

Our culture supports the unseen and tragic cycle of self-destruction that many women and men go through with dieting to create the illusion of beauty. They try diet after diet, losing and gaining and losing and regaining weight, all the while they are missing the key ingredient to success. And no, it isn’t another diet…it is something less tangible and more impactful than a diet. The author, Dr. Lisa Ortigara Crego, posits that the missing ingredient is love. Self-love and acceptance is a powerful thing, and when you work on that, replacing the guilt and the craving internal “chatter” – you find a strength and resolve you may not have guessed was inside you. This book outlines how to redirect that chatter, change it and change your inner (and outer) life. The author helps you take inventory, and to reflect on what that inventory represents to you – then gently guides you to change it. This is not a “quick fix” book, instead it is a journey of mind, body and spirit – and a joining of the three to help you become a wholesome and healthy person.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you don’t diet the mind of the negative, you are sure to gain a losing weight battle

It has been a fresh delight to read Dr. Crego’s book Release Your Obsession with Diet Chatter. I have to admit, I thought it was another book that “teaches” the reader how to successfully win the diet roller coaster. Instead, I found this book to tackle the root cause of why so many of us fail at dieting. It’s about winning the battle of the mind first.

One of Dr. Crego’s main challenges to the reader was to deal with the Mindless Negative Drunken Chatter. It is this negative chatter that our mind thrust upon us daily. This Drunken Chatter often comes in the form of persuading us to accelerate toward the poor eating choices – with strong “justifications.” Dr. Crego offers clear and focused techniques to gain control of the Monkey Chatter.

Dr. Crego transparently shares her own struggles and past experiences which really humanizes the battle and journey – while giving you hope that you can come out on the winning side.

This book is for those who have struggled with weight issues. Whether you secretly try to find balance on your own or seek medical assistance, this book offers hope, methods for introspection, and support. The author presents the roller coaster ride most of us take on this weight control journey in such a way that once we can recognize the issues and contributing factors surrounding body image and make peace, we can stop or at least slow down the ride. The author also makes sure we understand that we are not alone, not just in this struggle, but also in finding the solutions or understanding that we all crave, to stop the turmoil. The ultimate goal of course is to love oneself the way we are, removing the obnoxious prompts from our monkey mind chatter. Once we learn to calm those voices of insecurity and possible self sabotage, we can find the true essence of who we are and the beauty we all do possess inside. Her humanness in presenting her own honest battle with weight issues and food addiction makes us feel encouraged, for if she has found an answer that works and a path to take, there can be hope for the rest of us. She further highlights actual case studies with methods used to support acceptance and subsequent change for a healthier life. The questions she poses at the end of each chapter allow the reader to dig deep within themselves to find some of their own inner prompts and reasons for self sabotage. This is truly an account of a remarkable journey through the eyes of a specialist who knows, cares and has had her own experiences. There is more support available than we realize and whether we need medical, emotional, physical or spiritual support, we are simply invited to ask. The answers are there waiting to help us, but ultimately it is a personal journey. This book helps to empower us to embrace the change for a healthier life.

The core principal of this story is how to change negative thoughts into positive ones. The mind is the most powerful tool that humans possess. Negative thoughts are an illness, but you can turn it around by reading Dr Lisa's book. It teachers you how to love yourself. Reading this book was definitely an Eye-opener.
