Episode 274: The 4 C’s of Food Addiction and Why Food Has So Much Power Over You

from Food Freedom · host Mary Roberts

If you’ve ever felt out of control around certain foods, promised yourself “this time will be different,” and still ended up in the same cycle, this episode is for you.In today’s episode, I break down a simple framework that explains why food addiction isn’t about willpower, discipline, or trying harder and why moderation so often backfires. We’ll look at how addictive foods affect the brain, why stopping can feel so difficult even when you want to, and what actually has to change if you want long-term food freedom.This conversation may help you see your struggles with food in a completely different way and understand why recovery requires a different approach than dieting.Grab your copy of my FREE 9 page Beginner’s Guide to Food Sobriety https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodsobrietyguideFood Freedom Online Course: https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodfreedomcourseFood Sobriety Mini Course -https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodsobrietymcWant to learn more about me and my coaching programs?
