Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great book that mixes real-life reminders and tips on how to eat healthy and control weight every day and at special events with humor mixed in. I have always understood what to do to lose weight. This book helps the mind in how to really put that knowledge into action. (Monica K., age 45) I recommend this book. It was full of humor as well as a lot of personal stories related to weight loss. It was a good motivator for me to even make small changes in my eating habits not only to lose weight but to be healthier. I never would have thought about making a list of my favorite foods and then matching recipes to make that have those foods in them or having soup as a meal if the scale says I'm up. (Kim W.) Interesting book that lists the benefits of making better food choices. Has creative hints on how to eat more nutritious food and portion control mixed with parts of humor and small portions of autobiography of the author's life. Would be an easy and fun read for anyone looking to lose weight. (Lisa R., age 36) I truly enjoyed reading this book. Many diet books tend to be very boring and "matter of fact." This book is written with a great deal of humor. It gives a lot of suggestions and helps to establish good eating habits for a lifetime. (Lois G.)

Download or read book Health Food Junkies written by Steven Bratman, M.D. and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2004-07-27 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to identify the eating disorder orthorexia nervosa–an obsession with eating healthfully–and offer expert advice on how to treat it. As Americans become better informed about health, more and more people have turned to diet as a way to lose weight and keep themselves in peak condition. Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa–disorders in which the sufferer focuses on the quantity of food eaten–have been highly documented over the past decade. But as Dr. Steven Bratman asserts in this breakthrough book, for many people, eating “correctly” has become an equally harmful obsession, one that causes them to adopt progressively more rigid diets that not only eliminate crucial nutrients and food groups, but ultimately cost them their overall health, personal relationships, and emotional well-being. Health Food Junkies is the first book to identify this new eating disorder, orthorexia nervosa, and to offer detailed, practical advice on how to cope with and overcome it. Orthorexia nervosa occurs when the victim becomes obsessed, not with the quantity of food eaten, but the quality of the food. What starts as a devotion to healthy eating can evolve into a pattern of incredibly strict diets; victims become so focused on eating a “pure” diet (usually raw vegetables and grains) that the planning and preparation of food come to play the dominant role in their lives. Health Food Junkies provides an expert analysis of some of today’s most popular diets–from The Zone to macrobiotics, raw-foodism to food allergy elimination–and shows not only how they can lead to orthorexia, but how they are often built on faulty logic rather than sound medical advice. Offering expert insight gleaned from his work with orthorexia patients, Dr. Bratman outlines the symptoms of orthorexia, describes its progression, and shows readers how to diagnose the condition. Finally, Dr. Bratman offers practical suggestions for intervention and treatment, giving readers the tools they need to conquer this painful disorder, rediscover the joys of eating, and reclaim their lives.

Download or read book Food and Addiction written by Kelly D. Brownell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-30 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can certain foods hijack the brain in ways similar to drugs and alcohol, and is this effect sufficiently strong to contribute to major diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, and hence constitute a public health menace? Terms like "chocoholic" and "food addict" are part of popular lore, some popular diet books discuss the concept of addiction, and there are food addiction programs with names like Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous. Clinicians who work with patients often hear the language of addiction when individuals speak of irresistible cravings, withdrawal symptoms when starting a diet, and increasing intake of palatable foods over time. But what does science show, and how strong is the evidence that food and addiction is a real and important phenomenon? Food and Addiction: A Comprehensive Handbook brings scientific order to the issue of food and addiction, spanning multiple disciplines to create the foundation for what is a rapidly advancing field and to highlight needed advances in science and public policy. The book assembles leading scientists and policy makers from fields such as nutrition, addiction, psychology, epidemiology, and public health to explore and analyze the scientific evidence for the addictive properties of food. It provides complete and comprehensive coverage of all subjects pertinent to food and addiction, from basic background information on topics such as food intake, metabolism, and environmental risk factors for obesity, to diagnostic criteria for food addiction, the evolutionary and developmental bases of eating addictions, and behavioral and pharmacologic interventions, to the clinical, public health, and legal and policy implications of recognizing the validity of food addiction. Each chapter reviews the available science and notes needed scientific advances in the field.
