About this listen
2016 Voice Arts Award Finalist
A fact-filled guide to coping with compulsive overeating problems by an experienced addiction doctor who draws on many patients' stories of recovery.
Overeating, binge eating, obesity, anorexia, and bulimia: Food Junkies tackles the complex, poorly understood issue of food addiction from the perspectives of a medical researcher and dozens of survivors. What exactly is food addiction? Is it possible to draw a hard line between indulging cravings for "comfort food" and engaging in substance abuse? For people struggling with food addictions, recognizing their condition - to say nothing of gaining support and advice - remains a frustrating battle.
Built around the experiences of people suffering and recovering from food addictions, Food Junkies offers practical information grounded in medical science, while putting a face to the problems of food addiction. It is meant to be a knowledgeable and friendly guide on the road to food serenity.

brilliant
a wonderfully eye opening book. I wish all treatment facilities had to read or listen to Dr Tarman before they treated any struggling addict.

Could totally relate
Never saw myself as a food addict before but this makes so much sense and is such a relief to have things and feelings explained that you are too afraid to voice or even comprehend what's going on.
I always thought moderation was the key - now I have better tools that the door is no longer locked.
Thank you

Fantastic read
If you are interested in food addiction, think you might be a food addict, or have had ongoing issues with food, this is the book to read. I will continue to research about this topic, but at this point I am utterly convinced that this is the way forward for me.

More psudo-science
Started with a strong premise but deteriorated into psudo-science. Stopped reading when "belief in a higher power" was stated as a pre-requisit for recovery.
