Description
The End of Overeating: Taking Control of Our Insatiable Appetite by David A. Kessler examines the psychological, biological, and industrial forces behind overeating and food addiction in modern society.
The book explores how highly processed foods engineered with precise combinations of fat, salt, and sugar can overstimulate the brain’s reward systems, leading to compulsive eating behaviours that are difficult to control. Drawing on research in neuroscience, behavioural psychology, and public health, Kessler argues that modern food environments have fundamentally altered the way people experience hunger and satisfaction. He also examines the role of large food manufacturers in designing products that encourage continuous consumption, contributing to rising rates of obesity and related health conditions. In addition to analysis, the book presents strategies for recognising triggers, understanding cravings, and developing practical habits to regain control over eating behaviour.
The End of Overeating is aimed at readers interested in nutrition science, behavioural change, and public health.
