As seen on Ellen





I saw this Dr. on Ellen this week and thought a lot about what I eat after watching him. Are you tired all the time? Do you crave sugar? chocolate? junk food? I do and after baby number 4 my muffin top is NOT going away. Plus I wouldn't use opium and most of the food I eat has the same consquences on my body. I am going to check this book out and encourage all of you to do the same. You can check out the reviews and such on Amazon - see the box at left for getting to Amazon.

Amazon.com Review
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.
