Unacceptable Book! I barely managed to finish it and there were some parts I couldn't even read. The author's arrogance was evident from the very first pages. She addresses issues of eating disorders with absolutely no empathy. The icing on the cake is the 3rd chapter, which overwhelms us with Christian propaganda and speeches from saints and apostles. Because, as is well known, if you are not a Christian and you distance yourself from God, you cannot heal your relationship with food. At the very least, when a third of the book is religious content, it should be stated on the back cover so that those of us who don't like preaching can avoid it. You pick up a psychology book and end up reading verses from Saints and the "psychologist" urging you not to diet but to pray to God when you are struggling instead of turning to food and to sing hymns. I have never regretted more the time I wasted reading this book. The author is dangerous with her suggestions to people who have eating problems.

In an era when we are flooded with a hurricane of information, books, articles, and videos about various diets and new dietary trends that promise immediate results in terms of beauty standards, Christina Serafeim's book comes to offer a deep and calm perspective on nutrition, stating truths that are not heard today from the relevant authorities (doctors, psychologists, dieticians, the healthy food industry, pharmaceutical industry, beauty influencers, etc). It is a revolutionary book that does not mince words about the context that surrounds us. A book that makes people reflect on their body, their size, their limits, their spiritual needs, and ultimately confront their Freedom. Because true Freedom/Love is the goal of a struggle for liberation from a passion and addiction. The liberation that will bring you to the awareness of your true dimension. With a thoughtful disposition, it engages in a dialogue of science, philosophy, and theology about the whole entity called Human and human needs. It is an approach that goes beyond the psychological and purely nutritional analyses that we are accustomed to. It is an embedded and Christian Orthodox scientific approach with countless bibliographic references that talks about the spiritual needs of the soul and how we manage an addiction that has taken root in our "software". It is an approach for all kinds of addictions, not just eating disorders, contributing to the general dialogue. For the author, we are the children of God who have gone astray, who have deviated and are searching to find this sacred relationship with everything and within everything, including our food. Because the soul also has its nourishment (divine grace), and if we leave it hungry, it starves and the gaps begin to be filled with overeating of the body. So, I would close with a question: "Have you fed your soul before feeding your body?" It is worth reading by everyone!

5 because it only has 5 stars.... It deserves much more!
It concerns a very different approach from what is expected, which pleasantly surprised me.
It involves a particularly serious and long-standing scientific research, as evidenced by the references to sources and bibliography.
The only time the scientist/author does not repeat the clichés, ...does not "dress the same body with different clothes", does not choose the safe path!
It dares a risky dive into the depths of "my" existence - of each reader separately - in order to reach the root and heal whatever the culture that "wants me" as a slave consumer has damaged, a cog in the machine of so-called survival, without demands for quality personal space and time, and therefore completely detached and separated from "my" spirit, from "my" soul!
But "I" consist of matter and spirit, I have a soul!
...and when these three are separated, I become deeply and heavily sick!
...this is exactly where this important book has a healing effect.
I highly recommend it to anyone who wants and dares to truly see within themselves.
I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants and dares to press delete and restart.

A book written in a language that has become rare in our time, the language of simplicity. Christina Serafim takes you by the hand and guides you step by step into a paradise bathed in light and truth. She doesn't leave you in the antechamber waiting for the solution, but leads you to the heart of the problem itself, to the inner and ancient man. She shows you that there is the problem and its solution at the same time. She goes beyond the surface and penetrates the depths of the soul. She constantly emphasizes, courageously reminding you, tapping you on the shoulder, saying that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only and perfect physician of the deepest afflictions of our soul. If you accept and take the medicine, the healing will begin. In summary, Christina Serafim reveals to you that the intensity of the relationship one has with the Lord Jesus Christ contributes decisively to the healing of an unhealthy relationship with food. Bravo Christina.

I am very pleased when I read positive and negative comments. Because the tree bears much fruit. And especially when these fruits bring the Lord Jesus Christ, then it radiates, from all comments without exception, a special invaluable, joyful value. Once again, Bravo Christina.
