A Substance Called Food: How to Understand, Control and Recover from Addictive Eating, 2/e

Millions of Americans abuse food in the same way alcoholics abuse liquor, & often for the same reasons. In this book, Gloria Arenson provides startling insights into the emotional factors that drive people to view eating as an escape from their problems & offers realistic solutions that can help those people free themselves from their obsession with food. The author, herself having overcome a binge eating problem, shows that conquering a food compulsion is a long, difficult process-one that cannot be accomplished by diets that do not change beliefs about food or encourage emotional & behavioral change.Arenson, Gloria is the author of 'A Substance Called Food: How to Understand, Control and Recover from Addictive Eating, 2/e', published 1989 under ISBN 9780071568272 and ISBN 0071568271.
