About this listen

What makes some people continue to eat when they are not hungry? Why are they unable to stick to a diet despite warnings from doctors and their own understanding of health and nutrition?

Most people are familiar with the concept of alcoholism and drug addiction, but the idea that certain foods and quantities of foods can be addictive is only slowly gaining acceptance. Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous is for anyone who wants to learn more about food addiction and the solution offered by Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous (FA).

The audiobook includes an explanation of food addiction, a history of FA, and 30 personal stories of members who tried countless solutions to address their problems with food and found a long-term answer in FA.

This books makes it feel like they are trying to make us join their cult. Very disappointed with this book. Do not recommend at all.

Misleading and dangerous for anyone with food addiction

The book starts by saying you don't have to be religious, but spends the rest of the book explaining that FA recovery is impossible without god.
It then spends 3/4 of the book providing stories and "evidence" of success by following their program. Only in the last few hours does it explain what the program actually is. Any book that needs to provide a large portion of its text trying to sell itself (even after it's already sold) clearly recognises it has A LOT of convincing to do...
FA is definitely a cult. It's an organisation of people who encourage listening only to them and no one else (oh and God). What they teach is dangerous for mental health and not sustainable for anyone in the long run. It's builds on guilt, shame, abuse and fear.

Definitely a cult, dangerous for mental health!
