This is a very different book about nutrition; Instead of focusing on the body, it focuses on the mind. The premise of the book is that some types of foods not only satisfy hunger, but act as psychological rewards. This reward mechanism is similar to that seen with addictive drugs, impacting the opiate centers of the brain. The book uses the term 'conditioned hypereating' to describe the behavior of eating beyond hunger, with a loss of control over actions.
=== Conclusion ===
If you are overweight, or if you have a problem with controlling your food intake, I would highly recommend reading this book.
