In his overview Dr. Gold asserted that “neuro-imaging studies have supported the hypothesis that loss of control over eating and obesity produced changes in the brain which are similar to those produced by drugs of abuse.”

Actually yes brain studies have been done and it does show the same dopamine reaction as alcoholism. In 1993, Wilson reviewed the scientific research on binge eating and found the theory that foods cause physical cravings was “without convincing empirical support.” In l994, Nobel et al at UCLA discovered that some obese…

Psychological and physical are both addictions. Anyways I'm not gonna argue I have my opinion I was giving to OP and you have yours have a good day! :)

That is your opinion, to each their own.....if food wasn't an addiction there would be millions of overweight people.

It may not be for you which is wonderful, I'm happy for you but it is for a lot of people.

Actually it is. When I was 18 I was addicted to drugs so I have experience in saying it is.

I started taking it this week. First night I threw up and was up all night dizzy and puking because I started out on 2 a day instead of one. Decided I would give it another try and the next day got a bad headache and felt like throwing up but didn't. 3rd and 4th day I'm fine and side effects are gone. You have to start out…

I was treating myself once in awhile and was doing great. Then evil Easter came and I thought I had enough self control but didn't make it. Ever since then I'd been teetering on and off. And the last 2 weeks I have been eating junk like crazy. But time to get back on and lose some more weight. Having junk in the house is…

I know how you feel OP I was the same way. Always started my morning with sweets and soda. I got up to drinking 48 sodas a week...I did the 30 day water challenge to keep me motivated. I made a calender and for 30 days I drank no soda. I kicked the habit. After about 60 days I gave in and had a few here and there but def…

Last straw was going on my daughters school field trip and being caught in pictures that were posted to FB. As I never take pics I was mortified. That was a hard day. I cried all day and was so embarrassed. I vowed never to go on a field trip again and I haven't. Even after losing 38 lbs, I don't feel ok enough to go on…

My name is Crystal. Feel free to add me if you want. I've lost 38 lbs and need to lose about 45 more. :-) I'm 30 years old...

Shady's back tell a friend

I actually somewhat agree. I eat completely healthy and lose little. But when I eat junk one day a week I lose a lot more weight. It's crazy but it works

She's not rejecting it. She said thank you and I'm sure she's going to drink more water and make sure her blood sugar level stays up. How is that rejecting it. She's gonna take peoples advice on that. I'm sure if that doesn't work she'll go see a doctor. Smh people always trying to find something out of nothing to fight…

I started out with smaller breasts. Now after 31 lbs they shrank even more. -_- sigh. So for me that is a reality. My weight loss fears is gaining weight back after losing it.

I'm shaped weird. I've got 20 inch thighs but a huge waist.... I'm 5'6. I carry all my weight in upper body...makes me look really weird haha.

When you fall off the wagon chalk it up as a loss and move on. We are all human we all eat stuff we are not supposed too. Just make sure to do good the rest of the week :-)... Breathe, it's ok just get back on track.

About 5 weeks for the first 25... Then I stalled for 3-4 weeks. Now I started losing again...

Day 1 done today :-). Keep up the good work everyone :-)

Yes it's ok to treat yourself for sure. If you don't your body will crave more and more and you will end up binging and really adding calories. Letting yourself have little amounts here and there is good for your body. It regulates and lessens cravings and binges :-).

Darn it the pic didn't work but you can copy and paste :-)

Agree lol

Wow. "Peopler" are so stupid. ;-).

If you want to add me you can. I'm gonna start on Monday. I will be doing it Monday thru Friday. Rest days will be sat and sun. :-)

Too late for me!!! I gave in and ate Oreos and white chocolate chips....darn period and hormones messing with me. Lol. I tried to control the amount somewhat. Now I feel stuffed and sick. Bleh.

It was just a thought. I can't say it's that 100%. But it's an estimated guess....just wondering if anyone ever had that craving or read anything bad about red dye

Because that is all I crave is stuff with red dye in it. Weird I know but it's almost as bad as caffeine....

:-)
