Overeating is an endemic problem in societies with an abundance and variety of foods to sate any and every desire. And so we eat—and we eat more than we need. In this article, Mike Emlet speaks practically and personally to strugglers. He lays out how the Bible talks about food and then offers advice on how to win this food fight.

Mike is a faculty member and counselor at CCEF, where he has served since 2001. He holds a doctor of medicine from the University of Pennsylvania and a master of divinity from Westminster Theological Seminary. Prior to joining CCEF, Mike worked as a family physician for eleven years. He has particular interests in working with ministry leaders and with those who struggle with anxiety, depression, and OCD. He has published numerous books, including CrossTalk (New Growth Press, 2009), Descriptions and Prescriptions (New Growth Press, 2017), and Saints, Sufferers, and Sinners (New Growth Press, 2021).
