Food addiction is real. Our body's built-in reward system, driven by the chemical dopamine, tells us to do things that give us pleasure: Creative energy, falling in love, entrepreneurship―even the continued procreation of the human race―are driven by this system. Unfortunately, so is the urge to overeat.
In The Hunger Fix, Dr. Pam Peeke uses the latest neuroscience to explain how, with repeated exposure coupled with life stresses, any food can become a "False Fix" and ensnare you in a vicious cycle of food obsession, overeating, and addiction. Indeed, she shows that dopamine rushes in the body can work exactly the same way with food as with drugs like cocaine.
Luckily, this very same system can be easily rewired to reward us with a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life. The Hunger Fix lays out a science-based three-stage plan that shows us how to break our addiction to False Fixes and replace them with healthier rewards. Fun fitness activities, customized meal plans, and delicious, satisfying recipes are designed to trigger the specific neurochemical cascade that stimulates your body's reward system, reclaims your hijacked brain, and supports your lifelong recovery. Energizing Healthy Fixes such as meditating, having sex, writing your own blog, or going for a walk on the beach―even laughing―quickly replace the junk food, couch time, and other self-destructive habits that can leave you unhappy and overweight.
Packed with practical tips, useful advice, and plenty of wit, wisdom, and inspiring stories of those who have successfully transformed their bodies, The Hunger Fix is a lifechanging program for anyone (of any size) trapped by food obsessions and the urge to overeat.

Body for Life for Women by Pamela Peeke. (Rodale Books,2005) [Hardcover]

Dr Pamela Peeke's latest book is a wake-up call to everyone who has let modern life get the better of them. It asks the reader if they are in a very real sense Fit to Live, and shows them the road to a fitter, healthier body and a more dynamic life. Fit to Live offers men and women the chance to assess their current health and lifestyle, and then take action to improve their wellbeing and to protect their future health and happiness. The book begins with a series of tools for assessing the reader's physical and mental fitness as well as the state of their finances and environment. Dr Peeke reveals the sometimes-shocking consequences of the reader's current lifestyle, offering research-based predictions of their long-term health in five key, interrelated areas: mental, nutritional, physical, financial and environmental fitness. The book then shares Dr Peeke's 5-point plan for a diet, fitness and lifestyle programme that will allow readers to create a body and a way of life that is truly `fit to live'. After 4 weeks following this plan, readers will feel calmer, will weigh less, will have stronger bodies and better muscle tone, will feel more secure in their environment and will even be on the path to greater financial security. They'll become truly fit to live more dynamic, exciting and longer lives.
