Signs of Food Addiction

Researchers at Yale University's Rudd Center for Food Science & Policy have developed a questionnaire to identify people with food addictions.
Here's a sample of questions that can help determine if you have a food addiction. Do these actions apply to you? Do you:

• End up eating more than planned when you start eating certain foods
• Keep eating certain foods even if you're no longer hungry
• Eat to the point of feeling ill
• Worry about not eating certain types of foods or worry about cutting down on certain types of foods
• When certain foods aren't available, go out of your way to obtain them

And what are the CERATIN FOOdS??

How about?

• Wheat and other grains
•  Sugar and other  sweeteners
•  Milk and other dairy products
• The  potato/tomato family of plants

The way out of  food addiction is not to starve but to abstain from these four foods. How to do it?

Are You a Food Addict?

Food addiction manifests itself in the uncontrollable craving for excess food that follows the ingestion of refined carbohydrates, primarily sugar and flour substances that are quickly metabolized and turned into sugar in the bloodstream.

The FA site has members stories that make it clear that food addiction is not all about overweight or obesity.

Here is an example: 

Obesity is not just about soft drinks!

OK lets tax soft drinks, lets say that sweet drinks are to blame and if we tax soft drinks people will buy less.

So you say to an addict "I will make you pay more for your fix. "  It doesn't work.  Tobacco still costs the NHS billions of pounds per year despite being very expensive now.

A soft drink tax will bring in more money for the NHS and make absolutely no difference to the consumption of soft drinks, so everybody wil win

Except the food addict of course.

But food addicts don't want to win their battle with food because addiction to food  has nothing to do with food and everything to do with emotional pain.

One woman drank herself to death with coca cola - an addict like her won't care what it costs to get her fix, any more then a heroin addict would.

The UK government can prop up the NHS with a soft drink tax if they like,  but food addicts will continue to die.

Addiction to food is real!

They did a study at Yale with people who were severely obese.

Does food 'addiction' explain explosion of obesity? They asked.

The answer (of course)  was yes. Kind of......

"Its all to do with dopamine deficiency " said one man, at a food addiction and obesity summit

Watch video here

Just look at the agenda at this summit!

So near and yet still so far.....

We have to answer these questions:

• Why do some people eat themselves to death and cant stop?
• Why do some people NOT get fat on a junk food diet?
• What is is about food that makes it addictive?

I have the answers to the third question.  I may even know the answer to the first.

Just read the book, try the Four Zero experience and see for yourself.
