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? Dr. David Kessler, the dynamic former FDA commissioner who reinvented the food label and tackled the tobacco industry, cracks the code of overeating by explaining how our bodies and minds are changed when we consume foods that contain sugar, fat, and salt. Food manufacturers create products by manipulating these ingredients to stimulate our appetites, setting in motion a cycle of desire and consumption that ends with a nation of overeaters. 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. Dr. Kessler presents groundbreaking research, along with what is sure to be a controversial view inside the industry that continues to feed a our nation -- from popular brand manufacturers to advertisers, chain restaurants, and fast food franchises. Dr. Kessler's cutting-edge investigation offers new insights and useful 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.… (más)

Ci sono molte ragioni per cui potremmo mangiare troppo, tra cui la fame emotiva, il cibo ipercalorico e facile da ottenere, la mancanza di consapevolezza durante i pasti e la disconnessione dal nostro corpo e dalle sue esigenze.

Per smettere di mangiare troppo, ci sono alcune strategie che puoi provare:

1. Mangia lentamente e con consapevolezza. Assapora i sapori e i profumi del cibo e cerca di notare quando sei sazio.

2. Fai attenzione alla quantità di cibo che mangi. Prova a usare un piatto più piccolo per aiutarti a controllare le porzioni.

3. Sii consapevole della tua fame emotiva e cerca di trovare modi sani per gestirla, come fare una passeggiata, leggere un libro o ascoltare musica.

4. Scegli alimenti nutrienti e a basso contenuto calorico, come frutta, verdura, proteine magre e cereali integrali.

5. Evita di portare cibo ipercalorico a casa e cerca di mangiare fuori solo occasionalmente.

6. Cerca di avere una routine di pasti regolare e di non saltare i pasti, in modo da evitare la fame eccessiva.

7. Se hai difficoltà a controllare la tua alimentazione, potresti voler parlare con un professionista della salute mentale o un nutrizionista per ricevere supporto e consigli.
Ci sono molti cibi ipercalorici che possono contribuire ad aumentare il rischio di sovrappeso e obesità se consumati in eccesso. Questi includono:

1. Alimenti fritti, come patatine fritte, pollo fritto e altri cibi fritti in olio.

2. Snack dolci e salati, come patatine, biscotti, dolci, cioccolato e caramelle.

3. Bevande zuccherate, come succhi di frutta, soda, bevande energetiche e bevande sportive.

4. Cibi altamente processati, come fast food, salumi, insaccati, piatti pronti, cereali zuccherati e altri alimenti confezionati.

5. Alimenti ad alto contenuto di grassi, come burro, formaggio, panna, salsicce, pancetta e altri alimenti ricchi di grassi saturi.

6. Alimenti ad alto contenuto di carboidrati raffinati, come pane bianco, pasta bianca, riso bianco e altri prodotti a base di farina bianca.

7. Alcolici, come birra, vino e liquori, che sono anche ricchi di calorie.

Ciò non significa che dovresti evitare completamente questi alimenti, ma dovresti cercare di limitare il loro consumo e scegliere opzioni più sane e nutrienti quando possibile. Una dieta equilibrata dovrebbe includere una varietà di alimenti freschi, non processati e ricchi di nutrienti come frutta e verdura, proteine magre, cereali integrali e grassi sani.
Ci sono molti cibi ipocalorici che puoi includere nella tua dieta per aiutarti a mantenere un peso sano. Ecco alcuni esempi:

1. Verdure a foglia verde come spinaci, bietole, lattuga, rucola, cicoria, cavolo riccio e radicchio.

2. Verdure non amidacee come zucchine, carote, pomodori, cetrioli, peperoni, broccoli, cavolfiore, asparagi e fagiolini.

3. Frutta fresca come mele, banane, arance, kiwi, ananas, fragole, lamponi, mirtilli e meloni.

4. Proteine magre come pollo, tacchino, pesce, uova, tofu e legumi.

5. Cereali integrali come quinoa, riso integrale, farro, orzo e grano saraceno.

6. Grassi sani come avocado, semi di chia, semi di lino, olio d'oliva e noci.

7. Bevande a basso contenuto calorico come acqua, tè verde, tè alla frutta senza zucchero e caffè nero senza zucchero.

In generale, è una buona idea scegliere alimenti freschi, non processati e ricchi di nutrienti, come frutta e verdura, proteine magre e cereali integrali. Inoltre, bere molta acqua e limitare il consumo di bevande zuccherate e alcol può aiutare a ridurre l'apporto calorico complessivo della tua dieta. ( )

This book seemed to keep repeating the same facts over and over again. There was some good information, but it was a little to scientific and a little to repetitious for me. ( )

What a waste of space and good paper this book is! The author takes information enough to fill MAYBE one page and repeats it over and over and over and over again for three hundred pages. There an unbelievable amount of meaningless, useless fluff in the text. Almost worse than this is how not a single chapter is longer than 3 pages. My IQ scrore has halved from reading this.

FYI, here's every bit of real material in the book:

1. If you eat foods containing lots of salt, fat and sugar, your brain chemistry changes to make you seek out the same kinds of foods over and over again, regardless of whether you are truly hungry.

2. The food industry has been packing salt, fat and sugar into procssed, packaged, restaurant and fast foods in higher quantities than ever. This is why America is obese.

3. It is very very hard, almost impossible, to stop eating these superrich foods once you start, because of the obsessive hold they have on a person.

4. Some people seem to be wired to have greater ability to resist this food than other people.

5. If you overeat, stop (but don't ask how).

There. I just saved you thirty bucks and an hour or two of your life. You're welcome. ( )

Did you ever wonder why you "can't eat just one" of your favorite treat? Here's an explanation that combines marketing, psychology and neurology. All in a readable and interesting language that makes sense to the non-scientific reader. ( )

It's a quick read, partly because of the short chapters, and partly because it runs a little to repetition, but for all that, it's a fascinating read.
