This is the first book to explain in clear and simple language the physical nature of food addiction. There is a wonderfully clear explanation of the neurotransmitters in the brain, the effect of food on them, and the process of addiction as well as general guidelines for beginning recovery.

This reader found the book very helpful: "This book is a step-by-step guide to freedom! After years of dieting with varied levels of success, I finally discovered what the real problem was. She not only explains the chemistry of addiction but gives concrete, practical steps to achieve abstinence and freedom. "
