Recent media featuring Dr. Markey and her research
Below is a sample of the 100s of news reports (magazines, newspapers, television, radio, online media) that Dr. Markey’s research has been featured in.
- Book Review: Smart People Don’t Diet. Scientific American.
- Though not perfect, this is possibly the best book on weight loss ever written. Markey, a psychology professor who teaches a course called “The Psychology of Eating” at Rutgers University–Camden, is a true expert who has done what experts seldom do well. She has translated good science on eating and dieting into clear, friendly, informal language that virtually anyone with concerns about weight will find both interesting and helpful.
- Is Dieting for Dummies? The Pulse. WHYY radio.
- Health psychologist and eating behavior expert Charlotte Markey is kind and mild-mannered in person, or at least that’s how she came across when she visited us in studio for a conversation about dieting. But her opinion of fad diets and get-slim-quick schemes is far less congenial than her personality. The title of her new book says it all…Smart People Don’t Diet: How the latest science can help you lose weight permanently.
- What to Say and Do if Your Daughter Thinks She’s Fat. U.S. News and World Report.
- First, the bad news: Your daughter told you she thinks she’s fat. Now, the good news: Your daughter told you.
- Holiday Weight Worries? Why it’s OK to Indulge a Little at Christmas. Today Health.
- Warnings about holiday weight gain are as plentiful as eggnog, chocolate and Christmas cookies. So it may come as a surprise that some experts say it’s OK to indulge a bit through the season. Giving yourself permission to eat a little more during the holidays can actually help you control your weight in the long run, said Charlotte Markey, a psychology professor at Rutgers University and author of the upcoming book, “Smart People Don’t Diet: How the Latest Science Can Help You Lose Weight Permanently.”
- How to Love Yourself Naked. MindBodyGreen.
- Think about the last time you looked, or peeked, at yourself naked in the mirror. (Don’t pretend you’ve never done this.) Maybe you were deliberately checking yourself out, or maybe you just caught a glimpse of yourself as you got out of the shower.
- The Psychology of Eating. Why Diets Make You Miserable. SJ Magazine.
- Smart people don’t diet. At least, that’s what one Rutgers professor now knows for sure. After years studying the factors that influence body image, psychology professor Charlotte Markey says most of us approach weight management in unhealthy ways. She teaches a popular “Psychology of Eating” seminar in Camden, and she’s authored “Smart People Don’t Diet: How the Latest Science Can Help You Lose Weight Permanently.” She believes we all can find a sensible and healthy approach to weight management.

Having control of myself was the key. I never dieted. I changed my lifestyle.”
