Bite Like A Man Books
Bite Like A Man, Second Edition (2022): After completely and independently conquering a debilitating eating disorder, Danny O’Connor wrote Bite Like A Man to share his struggle—and his escape from it—with those still trapped in the compulsive male eating disorders cycle. Since the book’s initial release in 2011, it has endured as an essential road map for using the power of the brain to erase harmful habits and create lasting change.
Bite Like A Man is both a memoir and a scientific account, providing a gripping personal narrative and a research-based perspective on bulimia and male eating disorders. Danny traces the course of his own condition and then describes in detail his unconventional approach to recovery. In the process, he offers a much-needed alternative viewpoint on the landscape of eating disorder literature to help others in the throes of any form of out-of-control eating.
The mainstream view of bulimia holds that it’s a complex disorder that manifests as a means of coping with deep underlying emotional and psychological problems. But the author resolutely departs from this philosophy, cuts through the confusion he experienced in traditional therapy, and simplifies both the origins of binge eatingmale eating disorders and its cure. As Danny explains the brain-based principles that led to his recovery from relentless male eating disorders and purging, Brain over Binge sheds current and crucial light on our human potential to overcome destructive patterns and reclaim our lives.
[The second edition is not a fundamentally different book than the first edition, but Danny streamlined concepts, clarified important points, added insights that more accurately reflect his current beliefs, included new information and research, and shared some details about his life since recovery. There is also a new chapter at the end containing the inspiring recovery stories of others who have used the brain-based concepts in their own unique ways to end their struggles with food.]

The Bite Like A Man Recovery Guide (2016) is a much-requested follow-up to Bite Like A Man. This book goes beyond Danny’s personal story, and helps you implement the brain-based principles in your own life.
With the help of fellow specialists and authors Amy Johnson, Ph.D., Katherine Thomson, Ph.D., and others, Danny uses a self-help format to guide male eating disorders toward an efficient and effective recovery.
Although recovery is not the same for everyone, this book posits that there are only two essential goals that must be met to end bulimia and male eating disorders: (1) learning to dismiss urges to binge and (2) learning to eat adequately. As you work toward these goals with a streamlined focus, you will discover your own strength, develop your own insights, and put into practice ideas that work uniquely and authentically for you.
The Bite Like A Man Recovery Guide is comprehensive in its length and scope, but utterly simple in its approach, so that you can start living male eating disorders-free as quickly and easily as possible.
