Honestly, self-help books have never really been my thing, but this title found me at the right moment. It’s always a good time to eat healthier, and as I approach forty years old, creating a new relationship with food feels particularly timely.
I’m So Effing Hungry: Why We Crave What We Crave – and What to Do About It by Amy Shah, MD is the first in our next batch of Lil Nappy Book Club selections. (Don’t worry, this is not a diet book.)
Join me and some friends for a virtual discussion on Tuesday, September 19 at 6:30 p.m. Pacific Time.
Dr. Shah presents her double-certified nutrition expertise in a digestible, encouraging way that has challenged my thinking – and cravings – in ways that are manageable, realistic, and sensible. Just a few chapters in and I’m already adjusting my morning routine (hello, sun!) by reaching for foods that help me avoid the afternoon slump.
Hungry? Let’s eat! See you on Tuesday, September 19 at 6:30 p.m. Pacific Time. Zoom Room link will be available closer to the conversation.

SYNOPSIS: As Dr. Amy Shah explains, cravings aren’t your fault—and eating a healthier diet isn’t just a matter of self-discipline or willpower. There are powerful biological forces at play in your body that govern your hunger levels and cravings.
Drawing on the emerging science of psychobiotics—healthy gut bacteria that help improve mood and regulate hunger, weight, and cravings—Dr. Shah has created a 5-step plan to help you make peace with food and your body.
Complete with more than thirty delicious recipes and peppered with easy Hunger Hacks and Cravings Crushers, I’m So Effing Hungry is a complete guide to help you reframe decades-old dieting patterns and stop fighting the scale.
