Food dependency is real. Our body's built-in compensation system, powered by the chemical dopamine, tells us to do stuff that give us pleasure: Creative energy, falling in love, entrepreneurship-even the continuing procreation of the real human race-are powered by this system. However, so is the craving to overeat. In The Cravings for food Fix, Dr. Pam Peeke uses the latest neuroscience to clarify how, with repeated vulnerability, coupled with life stresses, any food can become a "False Fix" and ensnare you in a vicious circuit of food obsession, overeating, and addiction. Indeed, she demonstrates dopamine rushes in the body can work exactly the same way with food much like drugs like cocaine. Luckily, this exact same system can be easily rewired to reward us with a wholesome, happy, and fulfilling life. The Cravings for food Fix lays out a science-based three-stage plan that shows us how to break our dependency to False Fixes and replace them with healthier rewards. Fun fitness activities, custom-made diet plans, and delicious, gratifying recipes are designed to trigger the precise neurochemical cascade that stimulates your compensation system, reclaims your hijacked brain, and supports your lifelong recovery. Energizing Healthy Fixes, such as meditating, having sex, writing your own blog, or taking a walk on the beach-even laughing-quickly replace the junk food, couch time, and other self-destructive habits that can leave you unsatisfied and overweight. Filled with sensible tips, useful advice, and a great deal of wit, intelligence, and inspiring reviews of those who have successfully transformed their bodies, The Cravings for food Fix is a life changing program for anyone (of any size) trapped by food obsessions and the craving to overeat.
