Very helpful!
I was really struggling with the habit of binge eating at night, after putting my toddler to sleep, and despite my best intentions and behaviors all day, I would listen to the "cries" from my brain for ice cream as soon as I left his room. It was really frustrating and miserable, but the Never Binge Again program, including this book, have turned my binge eating around. It's been 3 weeks and 2 days since I joined his Intensive online program, and 3 weeks since I had my last binge!!! This book particularly helps with some really valuable strategies that Glenn and his coaches observed were effective with ending nighttime eating. It's a quick read, which is great as it can be so frustrating to be kicking butt against the binge-eating, but feel like someone else takes over your brain at night and ruins all of your hard work!Glenn said that he observed patterns in night-time eaters, such as skipping breakfast (perfectly understandable after you've binged at night, but physiologically perpetuating the cycle, as then one has an early lunch & dinner and is starving before bed), as well as lots of other things like that which they noticed were connected to night-time binge eating. The book goes over them one by one. Another pattern he noticed was that night-time eaters weren't taking much time for self-care during the day. It was a very helpful read, and it basically paid for itself, since the night that I bought it, I didn't binge on 2 pints of ice cream and more. So that was cool :)This would be useful for any type of overeating at night, not just binge eating.

Help for those of us who feel alone and hopeless...
I know that people will look at this approach of "Pigula" as somewhat silly and insulting or trivializing, but I find it effective. It makes is easier to read about, better than the "mindful" approach that makes me feel like I am not spiritual enough to make this work. Stress is my ongoing master and I find that it leads to the bingeing and purging in a way that may one day kill em. I feel things rip inside and though I try, I cannot yet find the I need. These books have so much insight into what is going on with those of us that have this problem...and at least give me hope that I am not alone and may one day be better. If I could afford the course I would definitely sign up for it...but at this time it is not possible. The books have been so beneficial in giving me some sense of one day being able to overcome my problem...and put Pigula into his coffin....! Thank you.

This book is Golden for any person that suffers from Nighttime Overeating/bingeing!
My entire life I have been waiting for a book that held the answers to my bingeing/overeating problems- and at age 59 this "IS IT!" All of Glenn's books prior to this book laid the foundation down for me & helped greatly reduce the frequency of my binges. With this latest book he targets exactly where my problems were rooted. Decades of so much pain & suffering from Nighttime overeating & bingeing only to wake up to forced damage control for days afterwards that created a constant viscous cycle. I was one that never binged or overate during the day - but after dinner I couldn't stop snacking into the wee hours of the morning which triggered binges. With his step by step 10 day approach I stopped from day 1 onward. I know in my heart of hearts I will never again eat after dinner. I am a happier person, a changed person. This book was the missing link for me. And I followed all his suggestions - I am in it all the way. I can't thank this author enough as he has literally saved a life - my life.

Repetative
I liked the info in the book but it could have been 1 chapter vs me reading someone write the same info over and then reimphasizing again and again.

Amazing
I am a 49 year old woman who has struggled with nocturnal eating AND nighttime eating since high school. I have been in three research projects to try to stop it- including medication studies and one year of CBT therapy. Nothing stopped it. After following the suggestions in this book, I can say that I feel fantastic, like a new person because I have learned how to say NO to my inner food demon. This book helped me make specific rules and a plan/ rituals to overcome NES. It has been two weeks and I have not had an episode. I am also losing weight and actually sticking to my calorie limits. NOTE: I am also a client of the NBA coaching program. Still, this book is an extra tool that REALLY made a difference to me. It contains some very specific ideas that are not part of the main book, and that my coach didn't know about. If you struggle with nighttime eating or nocturnal eating, I fully recommend it.

Opened my eyes!
I've been a fan of the book, Never Binge Again. But I had a major problem with night time binge eating. It was very strong and I often wondered why. Was I broken?This book explains why the urge to binge is so great at night. In the dark we do things we think no one will see. We also look to dark as comfort. It's just a natural function of our brains.Once I got those concepts in my head it was easier to implement the advice in this book.

Simplistic- and not in a good way
It it written for the age level of a 5th grader. A agree with other readers that it could have been written as a pamphlet. The filler info on vampires was just ridiculous. My biggest gripe is the swipe it took at 12 step programs. The authors obviously know nothing about these programs and the idea of being powerless. Save your money and join a support group or app that shows your progress. Skip this book.

Excellent Book
Very good insight into B.E. Disorder. Glen makes a serious issue funny in the best way. A whole new way of looking at a problem that plagues many Americans.

Sensible advice but…..
Do not buy multiple books by same author as I did. They are identical. Same theory. Same stories. Same solutions.Good solutions. But only buy them once.The Pigular name calling thing is a bit childish. And the tone of the author (very American) (sorry) grated on me a bit. But maybe that’s the point. He annoys you into behaving better. Know it alls are often annoying.
