Anatomy of a Food Addiction

HOPE, HELP, AND A REAL EXPLANATION FOR THE DISEASE OF FOOD ADDICTION.

If you have struggled with binge eating, compulsive eating, dieting, and the guilt and conflict they bring, your life will be changed by this important, life-affirming, and astonishingly wise book.

Anne Katherine, a Certified Eating Disorders Therapist and recovering food addict, explains the chemical reactions in the brain that work in conjunction with lifelong emotional conflicts to make certain foods—particularly sugar and refined carbohydrates—so comforting that they are almost like a drug.

Once you realize that your binge eating is a physical disease that can be treated, you can use the book’s self-tests, exercises, examination of family issues, and complete recovery program for newfound understanding and confidence. The rewards of recovery are astounding, abundant and life-changing.
