Every year an estimated seventy-two miilion Americans diet, financing a weightloss industry worth approximately fifty-five billion dollars. Despite the vast efforts put into weight loss, two-thirds of American adults remain either obese of overweight. Clearly dieting doesn’t work, and failed attempts to lose weight encourage the development of disordered eating behavior. Many of those struggling with disordered appetite compare it to being trapped on a roller-coaster ride. The feeling of the roller-coaster ride of restricting, bingeing, and chronic self-blame is never-ending. You crave, you eat, you binge. That momentary sense of calm and peace is once again overshadowed by shame and guilt. In Integrated Medicine for Binge Eating, respected psychiatrist and eating disorder expert Dr. James Greenblatt explains how appetite is controlled by the brain’s neurochemical systems, which rely on specific proteins for optimal functioning. The New Hope model described in this book combines the best in traditional and complementary approaches for recovery from binge eating and food addiction. While dieting provides a temporary fix, this book will offer a permenent solution based on scientific research to help you reclaim a healthy appetite with food, and get off the roller-coaster of food addiction.
