The End of Overeating

To say that overeating is a bit of a problem in North America would be like saying Jimmy Hendrix played a little guitar. Dr David Kessler (MD) explores the world of food addiction, food companies' secrets, and how to break free of the vices that compel us to eat.

Cressey is highly accomplished strength coach that possesses a very unique blend of book smarts and practical know-how. Let's delve deeper in to his book.
