Dr. Kessler knows how to make the complicated understandable, and how to explain why good intentions can be overcome by our responses to food. He explains why it seems impossible to stop eating once we’ve started, and describes ways to recognize when we are being conditioned to want more than our bodies need. Serving up practical advice on slowing down, as well as personal recommendations from celebrities and ordinary Americans who have been on “less is more” diets for years, The End of Overeating is an invaluable resource for anyone who struggles with overeating or wants to lose weight. By understanding how we get manipulated into overeating, we can finally say no—and mean it!
