The complete program for mastering your “hanger,” from mindful-eating pioneer Dr. Susan Albers — with 45 tips to turn hanger into happiness. It happens to all of us. One minute you’re happily going about your day, and a few seconds later you’re a snappy, illogical version of yourself. The culprit? Hanger. We’re living busier lives than ever before, and when we forget to eat — or accidentally … before, and when we forget to eat — or accidentally overeat — hunger can make us angry, unreasonable, and dull, with big impacts on our emotional and psychological well being. And hanger can become a cycle. When we get too hungry, we’re more likely to make food decisions we regret, which sets us up for another hanger crash later on.
The good news: when we make better decisions about food, we think more clearly, connect better in our relationships, and improve our performance. Hanger Management is the book that can help you break this cycle and create healthy habits that fuel and empower you.
In Hanger Management, New York Times bestselling author and clinical psychologist Susan Albers sheds light on the causes of hanger, and shares 45 of her best tips for managing it well. By learning to stay on top of your hunger cues, cultivating a better understanding of your appetite, and creating a better overall relationship with food, you’ll become happier — and healthier — for life.

This was such a refreshing, interesting, and fun read. Hanger Management by Susan Adler is a delightful and beautifully written novel and I honestly really enjoyed reading this book.
The premise for this book really caught my attention and I immediately jumped on the chance to read the first look and hopefully win it. I was really excited when I got the email that I had won so thank you to Bookish First, the publisher and author for my finished copy.
Adler’s writing style is great and the topics/issues she covers in this book are really interesting. I enjoyed reading about them and even started to apply what I learned in my daily routine. It’s definitely one of the best self-help / health and wellness books I’ve ever read and I’m so thankful I have this in my collection. I’ll definitely be sharing this with family and friends, but will track each of them down if they don’t return it back.
Definitely recommend this book if you’re looking for inspiration and encouragement to take control of your hanger, health, and well-being. It’s quite a fun read too!
I was initially excited to receive Hanger Management by Susan Albers; I’m a former fitness professional, I love to read, and I previously specialized in nutrition. I really thought this book was going to be right up my alley! And I tried to read it. I really did, but I just could not get into the book like I had originally expected. The writing just wasn’t exciting, the premise didn’t seem all that innovative and I struggled to get past the first chapter. So the book sat on my shelf… and sat on my shelf… and then it didn’t come of my shelf. It’s still sitting there almost a year later, still book marked at the first chapter woefully unfinished.
Perhaps in the future I’ll get around to reading Hanger Management, but that’s doubtful. I’ll likely give it to my brother or mother, who are also both in to nutrition. They’ll likely read it before I can.
This is a handy guide for how to eat more mindfully and how to avoid hanger. I appreciated understanding the scientific aspect of how hanger happens, and it was interesting to read about all the reasons that might cause us to reach for food. For example, stress eating wasn’t something I’d expected to be covered in this book, but I am glad it was and will make use of the tips to prevent it in the future. I liked that this book isn’t about making huge changes in your life, but it encourages you to analyze your habits and how they affect your body. Then, if necessary, little changes can be made. And you don’t have to give up your favorite foods! The suggestions in this book seemed doable, and I’ve put some in practice already. I’ve already talked to some friends and family members about this book, and I would recommend it not only to those who get hangry, but to anyone looking to get their eating habits under control.
It had some great points. recommended to my daughters

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.
