Investing in the Future-Food Addictions

Our next guest was Susan Peirce Thompson, PhD, food addiction and weight loss expert, and author of Bright Line Eating: The Science of Living Happy, Thin & Free. Dr. Thompson discussed food addiction and the role it often plays in weight loss efforts. She explained why fewer than .01% of dieters are able to reach their goal weight and maintain it long term. She offered several suggestions for those trying to lose weight. She also recommended that those who are losing weight should take a break from working out.
