The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite

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, now reveals how the food industry has hijacked the brains of millions of Americans. The result? America s number-one public health issue. Dr. Kessler 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 met with top scientists, physicians, and food industry insiders. The End of Overeating uncovers the shocking facts about how we lost control over our eating habits and how we can get it back. Dr. Kessler presents groundbreaking research, along with what is sure to be a controversial view inside the industry that continues to feed a nation of overeaters from popular brand manufacturers to advertisers, chain restaurants, and fast food franchises.

 

For the millions of people struggling with weight as well as for those of us who simply don't understand why we can't seem to stop eating our favorite foods, Dr. Kessler s cutting-edge investigation offers new insights and helpful 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.

Tasting! Muscle Milk Hunger Control Bar

Did you ever meet somebody sexy-looking (if/when you were single) and think that he/she was super fine? They seemed be to the whole package and YOU were awesome enough to score a date with this sexy specimen.

So the date is going fine until he/she starts talking. Their breath is ferocious atrocious – like hot coals doused in raw sewage. But you try to be cool about it and continue with the date anyway…until you notice the crusty booger waving at you from the opening of their nostril.

It’s just too much to bear. There’s nothing sexy about this specimen, and for all you know, they’re probably not even wearing clean underwear. This date is over, dammit.

So now you understand the kind of disappointment I experienced with the Muscle Milk Light Hunger Control Bar. I was fooled by what disguised itself as chocolate-peanut-caramel bliss, but what I got was a chalky-tasting bar so dense, that my eating jaw seemed to suffer internal bruising from chewing exhaustion. The little remnants of eating energy I had left were spent masterminding a way to get the dense-stickiness off my teeth. (brown teeth at work is not good, people)

For $1.99 you get bar that’s 2.75-inches long and 0.75-inches thick with a layer of caramel so thin, you can barely taste it, plus a minutiae amount of nuts (I counted 2). It’s low in sugar – only 9 grams – and is initially reminiscent of a thinkThin bar, but nowhere near as excellent. Not even close.

Shocker: The first two main ingredients listed are “hydrolyzed gelatin” and polydextrose. The polydextrose is described by e-How as “a synthetic food additive. Acting as a bulking agent to enhance the taste of reduced-calorie foods, polydextrose is commonly used as a substitute for sugar, starch and fat in many commercial food products. It is also used as a means to increase the fiber content of many products, and is often classified as fiber on nutrition labels.”

But here’s the extra face-smack. The low grams of sugar is made possible because it includes a dousing of sucralose. I NEVER eat that crap. I was bedazzled and never checked the label before buying. So now my stomach is twisted and I feel lightheaded. Wish I hadn’t done this. #FAIL
