What is Food Addiction: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment

Do you feel guilty or ashamed after you eat some foods? Do you hide what you eat or how much you eat from people? Do you ever stuff yourself till you’re full, and then keep eating? If you said yes to any of these questions, you, or someone you know, might be suffering from food addiction. On this podcast, I document my own struggle with food addiction, and how I try to cope with it on a daily basis. What’s food addiction? It’s an addiction to junk food that’s as strong as drug addiction and as damaging, if not more damaging.
