Breaking the Food Seduction: The Hidden Reasons Behind Food Cravings—and 7 Steps to End Them Naturally

Breaking the Food Seduction examines why certain foods—chocolate, cookies, potato chips, cheese, burgers and fries—prove difficult to resist despite efforts to lose weight and improve health. Dr. Neal Barnard explains that food cravings stem from biochemistry rather than willpower or psychology. Based on research by the author and other investigators at major universities, the book outlines diet and lifestyle changes to break craving cycles. It includes questionnaires, practical tips, and everyday examples. The book provides insights into the chemical reasons behind cravings, seven steps to break craving cycles and manage appetite, advice for addressing children's sugar cravings, a three-week kick-start program, and one hundred recipes designed to help break the hold of problem foods. The book addresses weight loss, cholesterol reduction, increased energy, and overall health management.
