Body in Mind Nutrition's Fan Box

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/184072.php

Research shows that the same brain mechanisms that fuel drug addiction in humans accompany the emergence of compulsive eating behaviors and weight gain.  "It demonstrates how just the availability of food can trigger overconsumption and obesity"says Johnson, one of the coauthors of the research.

My interpretation of this information, is the importance of helping you develop insight into how food in your daily environment affects you.   To develop the skills which help you cope with this challenging dilemma is essential for success with eating and weight management.  As a culture, we need to address the issue of personal responsibility and the abundance of food available to us-everywhere!
