You Don't Have to Be Diabetic to Love This Cookbook

This book is the brainchild of Tom Valenti - a man who is aptly qualified, being both a chef and a type II diabetic - and was borne out of experimenting with dishes to accommodate his condition. Eventually the modified meals become second nature to him, and he noticed weight loss, more energy, and better skin as a result.

The book rests on the premise there is no "diabetic diet," meaning every diabetic has differing needs based on individual factors.

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.

Kessler uses sound research, interviews, as well as personal and professional experience to create a convincing and riveting account of why we crave certain foods. He takes us through the biology and psychology of overeating - exploring the circuitry that compels us to eat too much of the wrong foods.

The Body Fat Solution: Tom Venuto

Being hyped as the most important weight loss book of the year isn't an easy accolade to live up to. You never really know how much of the buzz is based on marketing hype or reputation for past works or both. Well, I'm here to tell you with a great deal of confidence - The Body Fat Solution did not disappoint.

The Solution to Emotional Eating?

Tom Venuto is the author of the new book: The Body Fat Solution. This post is part of an exclusive interview with Venuto.

Emotional eating is eating for the wrong reasons, and the danger is you usually don't even know its happening. It's unconscious behavior.

The right reason to eat most of the time is for physiological needs such as providing nutrients, delivering cellular and muscular building material and for fuel. But most people eat for all kinds of reasons that have nothing to do with physical hunger or physical needs. They eat because they're bored, tired, depressed, lonely, and especially when they're stressed.
