Product Description
From Amazon
Why is it so hard to resist the temptation of chocolate? Because chocolate triggers the release of natural opiates in the brain. It's a drug "strong enough to keep us coming back for more," according to nutritional researcher Neal Barnard, M.D., president and founder of the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine. Cheese also releases mild opiates during digestion--no wonder we crave it. In Breaking the Food Seduction, Barnard helps you understand and overcome your food cravings. He explains which foods "hook" us the most and why, and what to do to break free when you want to decrease the calories and fat that accompany these seductive foods. Cheese, for example, is about 70 percent saturated fat and has more cholesterol, ounce for ounce, than a steak.
Barnard offers seven steps to breaking your food cravings, devoting a chapter to each one, with anecdotes and plenty of clear, sound, practical tips. Then he presents guidelines for healthy eating using "the New Four Food Groups"--vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains--with a three-week menu plan and 113 healthful, vegan recipes. Highly recommended for people who want to understand their food cravings and finally get rid of them. --Joan Price --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The proof is in the doing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Breaking the Food Seduction: The Hidden Reasons Behind Food Cravings---And 7 Steps to End Them Naturally (Hardcover)
I started out looking at this book because of reflux problems and I wanted a lighter diet. In a very short time, however, this book changed the way I eat completely. The proof truly is in the doing. I saw another reviewer wish that the book had other recommendations besides a vegan diet but that is precisely the Dr's point - the foods we crave make mixing and matching very difficult. 3 weeks eating as a vegan I have lost 10 pounds, reflux is practically nil, I don't crave food all day and in fact seldom even am anxious about meal times. I'm energetic - the absence of milk and meat has if anyting improved my energy levels. I urge anybody who has tried and failed finding a way to eat sensibly and maintain the habit to read what the good Dr. has to say.

The only weight loss plan that worked,
By A Customer
This review is from: Breaking the Food Seduction: The Hidden Reasons Behind Food Cravings---And 7 Steps to End Them Naturally (Hardcover)
I have tried countless of diets through the years with some success only to find after 2-3 weeks I felt so deprived I wanted to eat everything in sight. I saw the author on TV and decided to give it a try. Actually, the plan is not as hard as I thought but the best thing is I don't have any cravings. Sweets and high fat foods don't appeal to me. This is my third week and I've lost inches and everyone is noticing. I haven't been on a scale because I don't want to get consumed with the numbers. Also I feel more energetic. For anyone who is contemplating it, you have to give it a try.

The best diet book out there, by far,
By JD "amazon233" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Breaking the Food Seduction: The Hidden Reasons Behind Food Cravings---And 7 Steps to End Them Naturally (Hardcover)
This book has made a profound difference in my life. This book will disabuse you of many fallacies about food and dieting. It is the best book I have read on nutrition. The book tells you in clear language what foods to eat and what foods to avoid. But far more importantly, it will equip you with the knowledge--backed up with scientific evidence--to break the food addiction. After all, what good does it do to tell you to stay away from sugar, meat, and cheese, if those are the very foods you crave? This book lives up to its title: Breaking the Food Seduction. You don't fight the cravings, you break the cravings. That is an important distinction and it is the thesis of this book. I am very glad I found this book.
