    A fascinating look at food's effect on the human body!

For me, it all comes down to oatmeal.But first you have the name of the book: Breaking the Food Seduction. It sounds a little goofy at first, like a cover blurb on a checkout stand magazine. But Dr. Barnard has a real point: the reason it's so hard to resist, say, chocolate, or cheese, or (for me) that doughnut, has nothing to do with willpower. It's chemistry. We literally become "addicted" to the physical effects of components of these foods, and that leads us to crave them. It's nothing like a hardcore drug addiction of course, but it's real.Dr. Barnard is careful to cite the sources of all his conclusions, although I ding him one star for occasionally leaving it unclear that trace amounts of certain chemicals found in foods are enough to have the effects that he attributes to them.Still, this is a quibble at only a couple of points in the book. And you can't argue with Dr. Barnard's findings that by making certain food choices, one can actually reduce the urge to eat unhealthy foods. And that making those choices leads to real results -- in terms of blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, and plain old weight loss. The dietary changes he suggests aren't too far fetched for someone like me, who is already a vegetarian, but he does recommend major changes for those who usually enjoy eating meat.Breaking the Food Seduction includes a kick-start plan, to help the reader dive in and make those dietary changes. There is also a sizable selection of healthy recipes. These come courtesy of Joanne Stepaniak, herself the author of several cookbooks. I've tried a few of the recipes, with uniformly good results.But, as I said initially, it all comes down to oatmeal. For me, one paragraph alone was worth the price of the book. In that paragraph, Dr. Barnard tells us to ignore the instructions on oatmeal packages. He gives us a better way to prepare it. And -- voila -- now I like oatmeal, and I haven't looked back since!

I've always struggled with sugary treat addiction!  Cakes, cookies, ice cream and chocolate goodies.  Not eating because I was hungry but for entertainment instead.  I would trick myself into thinking I could have just a couple of cookies or one piece of cake and work it off later . . . . three cookies turned into a dozen.  A piece of cake turned into half a cake.  Then I didn't feel like working out later but instead have some more cake or make more cookies.  Spiral down from there . . . . till I gained 20-25 lbs and had to buy new pants.  After a few months I would feel disgusted with myself and go on a diet and work out obsessively until I lost some weight.  Then the cycle would start again.  Now that I've lost a few lbs I can have some cookies again.  Aaaaahhh!!!!!!  NO!!!  What I learned in this book is how these things effect the brain and it's nothing to do with will power.  Why tease myself with trying to have just a little of a treat which affected my body like a drug?  Don't eat it at all and you won't crave it!  I have been eating all the fruits, vegetables and complex carbs I want and feel full and satisfied.  And, losing weight!  It is so easy to maintain and lose weight just by not eating those sugary treats at all.  It's like a weight has lifted from my shoulders.  Especially when I think about how those foods made me feel after eating them.  Guilty as hell and depressed only to eat more of it and continue the vicious cycle.  This book has helped me tremendously and also provides some great recipes in the back!
