"I fully respect the fact that obesity is a psycho-physical disease that requires treatment, and therefore great attention should be paid to the psychological aspect of the disease and not just the organic. No diet is good if it does not take into account the psyche of the overweight person and the causes of their weight."

"Me and my need for food (after restrictive diets)" is the culmination of a thirty-year professional journey of an anxious and persistent nutritionist, for whom recording, studying, and interpreting the causes that lead modern humans to bulimia and obesity have been a life goal.

By trying to penetrate to the root of the problem, she deepens her research with the help of Psychology and examines the factors that burden the obese person, taking into account the family, social, economic, and educational conditions of various patients. Moving beyond the traditional framework that suggests "morning/afternoon/evening" and restrictive "weekly diets" that promise rapid weight loss (and ensure even faster weight regain), A.P. examines our deeper relationship with food and proposes many alternative tastes and recipes, prioritizing the issue of health and harmonious coexistence with ourselves.

The author formulates an innovative and bold dietary perception and does not hesitate to confess her personal insecurities and concerns in a volume that borrows elements from nutrition, essays, and often literature.
