Summary: Interesting book
Review: The book was very interesting. It confirmed what I believed all along and that was that sugar and carbohydrates can be addictive to certain people.This book helped me in alot of ways because it made me aware of things that I didn't know. I recommend this book to people who might be carb/sugar addicts.If it doesn't do a thing for you, it will make you more aware of food addiction.

Summary: Changing Your Life
Review: The majority of Americans are overweight according to national statistics. Television, radio, and newspapers report new weight reduction diets, books, pills and shakes. Weight loss is a multi-million dollar industry and most of us who have tried some of the diet methods may have lost weight, only to gain it back, which becomes a way of life. Diets, shakes, medications, portioned meals we discover are "quick fixes," but they do not provide permanent results. Society has stigmatized the word "addiction," and many of us with weight problems are reluctant to admit we are addicted to food. Ms. Danowski's book presents medical facts, undeniable data, and we are forced to look at our eating behaviors which many of us find as "ugly" as our overweight appearance. This book provides the rationale and the path to stop eating, to lose weight and to keep off that weight. This is not another fad; it is a sensible way to lose weight and not gain it back, by taking the steps to change our behavior. Debbie Danowski's story is real; this author is brave enough to tell the story of all who do not like what they see or how they feel, but few take the steps to change permanently. For anyone who has been disappointed with all of the marketed diet plans, anyone who wants to like himself/herself, this book can change your life.

Summary: Too structured
Review: The title is far better than the actual book. All it does it make you even more obsessed with food, and now even sugars in fruits are bad! I don't like the strictly outlined nutritional program--I don't think that works for people who "can't stop eating". I know that strictly outlined nutritional programs don't work for me. I know from personal experience that most of the time when people can't stop eating, someone giving you a new list of things you can't eat isn't going to help much. All this book did was make me feel more helpless in the face of my binge-eating disorder.
