Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
Why is it so hard to resist the temptation of chocolate? Because chocolate triggers the release of natural opiates in the brain. It's a drug "strong enough to keep us coming back for more," according to nutritional researcher Neal Barnard, M.D., president and founder of the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine. Cheese also releases mild opiates during digestion--no wonder we crave it. In Breaking the Food Seduction, Barnard helps you understand and overcome your food cravings. He explains which foods "hook" us the most and why, and what to do to break free when you want to decrease the calories and fat that accompany these seductive foods. Cheese, for example, is about 70 percent saturated fat and has more cholesterol, ounce for ounce, than a steak.





Barnard offers seven steps to breaking your food cravings, devoting a chapter to each one, with anecdotes and plenty of clear, sound, practical tips. Then he presents guidelines for healthy eating using "the New Four Food Groups"--vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains--with a three-week menu plan and 113 healthful, vegan recipes. Highly recommended for people who want to understand their food cravings and finally get rid of them. --Joan Price

Rating: - Breaking the Food Seduction
Another excellent Dr. Neal Barnard book. A good book regarding food cravings and how to have a 'craving-free' body. Lots of good menus and recipes. I would recommend any of Dr. Neal Barnard's books.

Rating: - same information as so many other books
This book was a fast read, and mainly talked about a low GI diet. Somehow I was hoping to hear something new and different from other books I have read.

It was worth the read.

Rating: - WONDERFUL BOOK
A plant based diet is advocated. The best part is that the doctor explains WHY this is the best diet. He gives tips that are doable. The book is easy to read and the examples he gives are relateable. Highly recommend this book.

Rating: - 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 ... Read More

Rating: - Changed my life, my friends and family
This is a life changing book. I keep ordering more for people to borrow and for gifts for those who are serious about improving their health. I became vegan after reading this book, but on holidays I sometimes eat some other foods offered, and then I feel sick and they taste so bland. Vegan opens up a world of taste buds and health. My adult son just read it a few months ago and he and his wife have a new diet and now she doesn't get sick like she used to. It really does stop the cravings for meat, ... Read More
