The End of Overeating

[jgm]

I've just finished reading this book, and it's an eye-opener.

The premise is that the salt/sugar/fat combo is addictive and our food is being engineered to take advantage of that addiction. He's mainly talking about fast food and chain restaurant food.

The last section has some very interesting advice about how to break one's addiction. It's somewhat a synthesis of things we already know, but seen through the eyes of breaking our addiction to food, and gaining control over your consumption of it.

I recommend it for those with weight problems, and I'd like to hear from those who have also read it, and like me, are working to implement his recommendations.

I recommend it, too, for those who care about food but don't have a weight problem. In addition to addressing the issue at a personal level, Kessler provides an explanation for why a significant portion of the whole doggone country is overweight, and what he believes should be done about it.

It's very interesting, also, paired with "Mindless Eating" by Brian Wansink.
