Teen edition of the New York Times bestseller, The End of OvereatingFormer commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration David A. Kessler, M.D., argues forcefully that our brain chemistry is being hijacked by the food we eat: that by consuming stimulating combinations of sugar, fat, and salt, we're conditioning our bodies to crave more sugar, fat, and salt―and consigning ourselves to a vicious cycle of overeating. Adapted from the adult trade bestseller The End of Overeating, Your Food Is Fooling You is concise and direct and delivers the same message, many of the fascinating case studies, and the same advice for breaking bad eating habits in a voice and format that's accessible, positive, and affirming for teenagers. Young people are at most risk of forming bad eating habits―but they're also highly aware of body image and highly responsive to positive messages about health and diet. Your Food Is Fooling You is a readable, authoritative, and entertaining call to action by one of our nation's leading public health figures.

This is a "young reader's edition" of the author's best-selling book, The End of Overeating. It is shorter than the original book and the typesetting is done in a way that will be more appealing to younger readers (and perhaps to impatient adult readers). If you are in a hurry to absorb the main points of the presentation, this version is recommended.If you want to read another thoroughly researched report about the effects of processed foods on our brains and our eating habits, I would recommend the book Salt Sugar Fat by Michael Moss.
This is a very helpful book. I had read the 2009 book The End of Overeating on which this is based. Dr. David Kessler is one of my heroes...tough, smart, truth-telling. I do think processed foods are shot full of sodium, sugar, and fat, and these make processed foods addictive. And these addictions contribute to the obesity plaguing our country and many countries in the world, with resulting diabetes, heart disease, and other diseases. If we're going to fight these diseases for the many people who suffer from them, we are going to have to address these addictive and unhealthy foods that the food industry is selling us, to our detriment and their profit. Your Food Is Fooling You is addressed to a young adult and teen audience. I really didn't pick up on that. There are a lot of smart teens and young adults out there; it didn't seem that the book was written down. I got a lot out of it and I'm about to celebrate my 55th high school reunion. Thanks, Dr. Kessler.
This book is a simplified version of the author's book Salt, Sugar, Fat. If you own Salt, Sugar,Fat then you do not need this book. Thisi book is written for what the author refers to as "younger readers."
This book is great. Most books talk about a simple diet, then you get to the calorie counting, carbs and restrictions. You must read the entire book, it is a lot of food facts, just read it, then page 205 starts his plan, simple, again just read it. This changes the way I think about food and eating. You change your brain and habits. There is no calorie/carb counting, no restrictions, just I think differently. He has a second book, "Your Food Is Fooling You", it is for teens, reads much faster, has the same basic idea. His plan works for any age group. If you are a reader get the first book, if you just want to get the facts, the second book. This is not a fast diet, slow and steady, easy to follow for the long hall.
I actually really enjoyed this book. I bought it for a class and only need to read a portion of it but when I got started I could put it down. Very insightful, easy to read and really helped me to make better food choices.
Excellent beyond my expectations. Easy to read information that will change the way you relate to food forever. Fast easy read for the adult with limited time to read and appropriate for the teen in both middle and high school, and college. A must read!!!!
Some parts of this book are interesting - Especially when he goes into detail about the ingredients in casual chain restaurant food..but I find it to be very, very repetitive.
This is quick read with a lot of good practical information and with ways to apply it. I'm a 55 years old male with a 32 inch waste to go along with my lean muscle mass on my 6 ft and 185 lbs frame. This book confirms my eating habits (like the positive and healthy ones outlined in this book) work!!!
