Anatomy of a Food Addiction
The Brain Chemistry of Overeating
Author: Anne Katherine, MA
DESCRIPTION:
Anne Katherine, MA, CEDT, CMBC clearly explains the chemical reactions in the brain that work in conjunction with lifelong emotional conflicts to make food-particularly sugar and carbohydrates-such a comfort that it's almost like a drug. Includes self-tests, exercises, an examination of family issues and priorities, and a complete recovery program for newfound understanding and confidence.
For readers who are strongly addicted to particular foods as well as those who simply feel susceptible.
