NutriMirror Staff | August 17, 2009, 1:04 pm The End of OvereatingThe End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite, by David Kessler MD Most of us know what it feels like to fall under the spell of food when one slice of pizza turns into half a pie, or a handful of chips leads to an empty bag. But it's harder to understand why we can't seem to stop eating even when we know better. When we want so badly to say "no," why do we continue to reach for food? In this book, former FDA commissioner Dr. David Kessler cracks the code of overeating by explaining how our bodies and minds are changed when we consume foods that contain sugar, fat, and salt -- a process taken advantage of by food manufacturers who manipulate these ingredients to stimulate our appetites, setting in motion a cycle of desire and consumption. The End of Overeating explains for the first time why it is exceptionally difficult to resist certain foods and why it s so easy to overindulge. For the millions of people struggling with weight as well as for those of us who simply don't understand why we can't seem to stop eating our favorite foods, Dr. Kessler s cutting-edge investigation offers new insights and helpful tools to help us find a solution. There has never been a more thorough, compelling, or in-depth analysis of why we eat the way we do. About the Author DAVID A. KESSLER, MD, served as commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration under presidents George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton. He is a pediatrician and has been the dean of the medical schools at Yale and the University of California, San Francisco. A graduate of Amherst College, the University of Chicago Law School, and Harvard Medical School, Dr. Kessler is the father of two and lives with his wife in California.
