Hurrah to Dr. David Kessler, former commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (1990 to 1997). Dr. Kessler -- who helped reinvent the food label and tackle the tobacco industry -- has written a fabulous new book, "The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite," which tells you how the food industry has hijacked the brains of millions of Americans. He tells you how our bodies and minds are changed when we consume foods with sugar, fat and salt. Tune into what is sure to be a fascinating show, in which Dr. Kessler will tell you how processed foods can stimulate your appetite, set in motion a cycle of desire and consumption, which has led to a nation of overeaters and overweight or obese people. You will learn how to choose foods that satisfy you, mentally rehearse, get out of the path of cues, deal with urges and seize conscious control over your eating. On this show, I'll also interview renowned low-carb expert Dr. Keith Berkowitz, author of The Stubborn Fat Fix: Eat Right to Lose Weight and Cure Metabolic Burnout Without Hunger or Exercise. Remember, you can listen to this show live or later, at your convenience. Please provide feedback about the shows. I'm eager to hear from you.
