Diet Rehab: 28 Days to Finally Stop Craving the Foods That Make You Fat
(Adobe EPUB eBook, OverDrive Read)
In March 2010, The Scripps Research Institute released a study showing how rats on a junk-food diet had just as difficult a time-if not more so-giving up excess fat and sugar as the rats who were struggling to recover from cocaine dependence. The results showed that certain foods actually alter the brain's chemistry, making our consumption of these foods less like an indulgence and more like an addiction.
Our brains require two key neurotransmitters to maintain proper mood and function, serotonin and dopamine. We get a rush of the two when we eat junk food, but the converse is also true: If we stop eating them cold turkey, we go through serotonin and dopamine withdrawal. This is what causes so many dieters to ultimately fail. In order to successfully lose weight, explains Dr. Mike Dow, dieters should be sensitive both to their emotional and physical needs. Dr. Dow, a psychologist who specializes in addictive behavior and eating disorders, introduces a four-week program for breaking the hold that food has over the body, mind, and spirit by gradually decreasing the amount of "bad" foods while increasing activities and foods that boost serotonin and dopamine levels. Sensible and uniquely effective, Diet Rehab eliminates the withdrawal pains of most diet plans, and provides the structure for a sustainable, healthy, and happy lifestyle.

October 1, 2011
We all know that the chips, cookies, and burgers we love can make us fat. Lately, we've also come to realize that the salt, fats, and sugar in these foods can be addictive because they affect our brain chemistry. How to break the cycle? Dow, a psychotherapist and host of TLC's Freaky Eaters, outlines a program that incorporates good-for-you foods before you quit the less healthy, more addictive ones. He discusses foods that boost serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain to make you feel better and help you stop eating junk. VERDICT Dow makes a good case; the writing is clear and relatively free from the jargon common to many diet books. His program pushes the kind of healthy diet--heavy on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains--most supported by doctors, and his system may well allow for easier adoption.--Susan B. Hagloch, formerly with Tuscarawas Cty. P.L., New Philadelphia, OH

Junk food is as addictive as cocaine. Find out how to kick your bad food habit with in Dr. Mike Dow's diet book.
Food is the most socially acceptable "drug" out there. When you eat fatty or sugary foods, your brain releases a surge of the feel-good chemical dopamine or serotonin (dopamine for fatty foods and serotonin for sugars and carbs). If you eat like that consistently, your brain eventually depends on you to provide them instead of regulating its own supply. And as with addictive substances, it starts taking more and more serotonin and dopamine to just feel normal.
In Diet Rehab, renowned addictive-behavior expert Dr. Mike Dow explains how to stop this dependence on "bad" food and start eating healthy without quitting cold turkey. The Diet Rehab philosophy is simple: use gradual detox to harness the power of your brain chemistry so that you'll no longer feel like a victim to your fluctuating moods and cravings. After twenty-eight days, you'll...- sortTitle
