I thought it was a lot of baloney in the beginning. Come on people grow up and stop acting out, geesh. Hangry, that word drove me nuts, still does to be honest. I read this book slowly thinking it was just another weird fad diet thing. The first 1/4 of this book left me thinking, oh not this again, same old same old. The author told stories about people losing. it while hungry. I really was in disbelief. Then about two week later I put on a pair of pants that were tight normally, they were loose ! Okay so maybe some of the mindful eating and hangry stuff got in my head and it was working. There is nothing complicated, or even really new, it was the way she presented it, it stuck. I found myself chewing more, thinking about what I was eating, when and even why. Dang I wasn't even reading this book to lose weight I was just interested. 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.

Useful information and well written. The structure of this book helped to present the information in an engaging way. The diagrams were very helpful. I've lost a lot of weight but gain some back due to medications and health conditions. I'd like to buy a print copy of this book as I think it will be very helpful in reminding me to be mindful when eating.

Alright, so the good about this book is its insightful and set-up as a self-help book that deals with your eating habits, go figure! Haha. 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. I don't get to read too many books dealing with my stomping grounds. I loved the breakdown of the 10 types of Hangry People i matched with a few categories which i am unsure if its normal or not I guess it just really depends on the day and its activities. Lets see: the categories I matched with are as follows: Too busy to eat, Too much mindless eating, Too much change, and Too stressed out. 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. Susan also has a website she frequently introduces and encourages us to visit for more great information. I wont include it in here because that would be considered a spoiler. You'll just have to read the book to find out, Lastly, i cant criticize this book because upon reading and reviewing and grasping the information it was both gramatically correct and very understandable. Personally,I love self-help books as it is. Definitely worth checking out!

I'll admit it -- I occasionally have problems with hanger management. This is especially bothersome at times because it coincides with my hypoglycemia. Before finding this book, my spouse and I had already fully recognized the strain that both of our hanger issues placed on our relationship. I'm happy to say that the simple, no-nonsense approach of Hanger Management has given us some much-needed tips that've already made our relationship with food -- and each other -- much better.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing an ARC.
