EATING TOO MUCH, IS AN ADDICTION

Much like smoking, and other habits, eating too much usually has deep-seated reasons. Anxiety, stress, rejection, fear and a huge amount of other problems. Diets, without changes to other areas of your life will never work. People with Diabetes and other blood sugar related diseases, should speak to their doctor first, before trying this life style of eating.
