Here's the info from Borders on the book "I'd Kill for a
Cookie" by Susan Mitchell. Borders.com sells it for $18.36.
I haven't read it and don't plan on doing so but thought I
could at least share what info I found.

Subject / Style: Psychology & Psychiatry : Compulsive
Behavior, Self-Actualization & Self-Help : Stress
Management, Social Sciences : Customs & Traditions

Description: This plan teaches readers how to identify
the stressors in their lives and the corresponding
reactions, and how to incorporate appropriate new
behaviors into any kind of lifestyle.

Description: Millions of Americans reach for a pint of
Ben & Jerry's when the going gets tough--only to hate
themselves later. In this liberating and accessible book,
two nutrition experts offer the first practical,
step-by-step program for overcoming the urge to use
food as an antidote to tension.

Publishers Weekly, 01/27/1997: While the title appears
to target women whose eating is out of control (real
men don't crave cookies), the program set forth by
Florida nutritionists Mitchell and Christie offers sound
advice for stressed-out members of both sexes. Their
approach to stress eating, called the EAT Plan, an
acronym for Energy Action Team, is based on
strategies to alleviate stress, stop excessive food
cravings, improve mood management and increase
energy while promoting relaxation. The authors frown
on self-denial, warning that hunger leads to cravings,
which lead to overindulgence. They recommend
frequent small meals, featuring antioxidant-rich and
phytochemical-laden fruits (e.g., peaches) and
vegetables (e.g., broccoli) and grains, with calming
carbohydrates and energy-boosting proteins
scheduled according to one's individual circadian
biorhythm. Besides tips on stocking one's pantry and
dining out, there's advice on exercise and using a
variety of techniques for coping with stress. Self-help
fans will welcome the outline format with its many
worksheets, self-assessment quizzes, checklists and
step-by-step instructions. (Mar.)
