About this listen

Do you feel out of control around food? Do you wonder why you can’t stop eating? Do you fear that you’ll gain weight forever?

How to Beat Extreme Hunger will teach you the way out–so you can live a life that’s free from feeling triggered, guilty, and food obsessed.

Autism and eating disorder recovery coach Livia Sara spent nearly a decade of her life trapped in the golden cage of restriction. From calorie counting to weighing food and tracking minutes exercised, her life revolved around rules and numbers. It wasn’t until she committed to recovery that a new beast was unleashed: extreme hunger.

Just like that, Livia’s hyper-controlled, perfect eating plan transformed into an insatiable hole of hunger. Thoughts about food tugged so hard that the only option was to eat until she felt physically sick…and yet she still wanted to eat more food.

If you resonate with Livia’s story, you’re not alone. Unlike most diet recovery methods that leave you feeling deprived and misunderstood, How to Beat Extreme Hunger takes a gender-inclusive and neurodiversity-affirming approach to making peace with food and your body.

In this book, you will learn:

- The science behind extreme hunger

- Why extreme hunger usually happens when you are “weight restored”

- How to tell the difference between true hunger and emotional eating

- The difference between extreme hunger and binge eating disorder

- How to stop bingeing at night

- How to heal digestive issues in eating disorder recovery

- Hormonal changes that occur in eating disorder recovery

- BONUS: Become trigger-proof and stop feeling guilty around food

- BONUS: Free yourself from labels, including those instilled on you by diet culture

If you want to break free from the cycle of bingeing and enjoy food without losing control, grab your copy of How to Beat Extreme Hunger today!

Critic reviews

"In How to Beat Extreme Hunger, Livia Sara delivers a refreshing take on overcoming the challenges of extreme hunger with a blend of humor, raw honesty, and genuine understanding. From the very first page, Livia's voice feels like that of a trusted friend who not only acknowledges your struggles but dives deep into the heart of them.

This book is a revelation – a beacon of truth in a sea of misconceptions. Livia fearlessly drops 'truth bombs' that illuminate the hidden aspects of our relationship with food and our bodies. Through her relatable candid storytelling, she unveils the seemingly 'harmless' behaviors that can stop us from overcoming extreme hunger.

...What sets How to Beat Extreme Hunger apart is Livia's willingness to address topics that most professionals overlook but should know. That's why this book is the key to recovery. Rooted deeply in authenticity, Livia's words serve as a lifeline for those lost in their struggles, resonating deeply with the soul. As you read, you feel deeply heard and understood.

As a food freedom and body love coach, I wholeheartedly believe that How to Beat Extreme Hunger is a game-changer for anyone seeking liberation from the grip of extreme hunger. I'll definitely be sending each of my clients a copy! If you're ready to embark on a journey that promises more than overcoming extreme hunger, your search ends here. This book is your guidebook to reclaiming your life and embracing true nourishment, inside and out.

Liv, you’re a freaking genius and a positive light in this world!" – Victoria Kleinsman, Food Freedom & Body Love Coach

"How to Beat Extreme Hunger is an engaging and comprehensive deep dive into understanding a very normal but often misunderstood part of the recovery process. Livia explores this phenomenon from multiple perspectives, helpfully dissecting different types of hunger, the nervous system, hormones, restriction, and much more. Livia is an engaging writer, delving thoroughly into the science of the extreme hunger experience whilst also drawing from her personal journey with deep authenticity and vulnerability. I highly recommend this book to anyone navigating eating disorder recovery!" – Harriet Frew, The Eating Disorder Therapist

"Liv takes the confusing and often frightening concept of 'extreme hunger' and makes it relatable, logical, and easier to understand. Anyone dealing with extreme hunger from restrictive eating disorders will likely benefit from the way Liv breaks down the what, how, and why of their seemingly out-of-control hunger patterns. With insights ranging from the cognitive, emotional, physical, physiological, and somatic (nervous system), this book is an empathetic and practical guide for getting through this messy part of recovery." – Stefanie Michele, Binge Eating and Body Image Coach]

A must listen to support ed recovery!

This book totally shifted my mindset about extreme hunger. I no longer see it abnormal and something to be afraid of or need to control it, or even worse , ”something I guess I just need to manage and forever be careful not to go overboard”. Now I see it as a reasonable reaction after restriction AND something to most definitely honor! Yes, still anxiety provoking from an eating disorder point of view, but not scary or crazy at all from rational and scientific perspective.

Something that makes all the difference with this book is that it is written by someone who has been through it all. Someone who has had all the same doubts and fears and has come to the other side to encourage others.

So HUGE thank you to Livia! This book was a turning point and I now feel so much easier moving forward. Definitely recommend everyone to read/listen this if they feel lost with their recovery and hunger.

Ps. Listening Livia to read her book by herself was just perfect and brought her story and explanations even more to life!

Great Book!

A great listen! Liv explains extreme hunger in such a beautiful way that makes it easy to understand and grasp. Even the acronym of FEAR was an aha moment! A useful, relatable guide to overcoming a fearful thing that many of us experience during eating disorder recove

A fantastic , helpful book . Highly recommend!!

If you or a loved one is struggling with an eating disorder then I cannot recommend this book highly enough!
I could relate to so much that Livia talks about when she explains with such honesty and openness about what she has been through herself and I found it so inspirational to listen to how she got through it.
Livia has done so much research into all the science of eating disorders, she really knows her stuff! I found it fascinating learning all the reasons behind extreme hunger and all the other eating disorder behaviours which Livia explains in such a clear and concise way. I feel that I have so much more understanding of how the body and brain works now and have had so many “light-bulb” moments while listening to this book where things all started to make sense. I feel so much less alone and frightened now too because I know that all that happens during and recovering from an eating disorder is “normal “.
I was especially pleased that Livia read the audio book herself instead of getting someone else to read it like some people do because she has a great way of talking directly to the reader, it felt like she was talking to me personally, offering encouragement, inspiration , help and advice whilst also making me realise that it is only me who has the power to beat my eating disorder.
I will definitely be going back again and again to re-listen to this book , whenever I need a boost to keep on going to full recovery as Livia has proved it is possible !

Relatable and supportive

Liv has an understanding of the terrifying process of EH like no other. Her first hand experience shows and her words made me feel understood and supported! Finally I I no longer feel alone and crazy. I think finally, I no longer view EH as scary but as the thing that will save my life !
Thank you for the time and effort you put into this live it’s priceless!
