Description

All you need to know about food addiction and recovery.

Overeating, binge eating, obesity, anorexia, and bulimia — Food Junkies tackles the complex, poorly understood issue of food addiction from the perspective of a medical clinician and dozens of survivors. What exactly is food addiction? Is it possible to draw a hard line between indulging cravings for “comfort food” and engaging in substance abuse? For people struggling with food addictions, recognizing their condition remains a frustrating battle.

The third edition of the bestselling book includes the latest research on all aspects of food addiction and an expanded section on practical strategies for breaking free from it, offering supportive and manageable steps toward healthy, lasting habits.
