Drawing on her experience in addictions treatment, and many personal stories of recovery, Dr. Vera Tarman offers practical advice for people struggling with problems of overeating, binge eating, anorexia, and bulimia. Food Junkies, now in its second edition, is a friendly and informative guide on the road to food serenity. This book will help many people with every kind of eating disorder - they all start with the same premise.We who eat too much, too often, and who find ourselves fat, miserable, bulimic, unhealthy, or just wanting to lose 20 pounds before Christmas are in the same boat. Dr. Tarman's book shows how many ways there are to get help and get healed. My own solution - through the twelve steps of GSA - presents the approach that has saved my life - that we - all of us, just alcoholics - are allergic to sugar, grains, flour, wheat, and corn - yes, all grains! - the same ingredients that are in alcohol. Avoiding these foods and eating three weighed meals a day and nothing in between can lead you to find the last house on the block, which is a mansion!
