Food Addiction: Self-Destructive Eating and Social Pressure to Eat Dangerously with Joel Fuhrman, MD

[@LaLayla99]

My one year anniversary of switching to eating plant-based is coming up Aug. 1. I have noticed that my mood has drastically changed. I used to be very snarky, impatient, and reactive to perceived slights. I'm not saying I'm perfect now, but I feel so much better and kinder. It's incredible. Oh, and I've lost about 90lbs and decreased most of my meds, including getting completely off my anti-depressant. Friends ask if I miss cheese. No. I don't miss feeling like crap every dang day of my life. 💞

[@vikkibendle1749]

What a fantastic presentation….people just don’t know the damage they are causing their children…and the depression they are causing for themselves…

[@lorib5398]

Needing positive reinforcement is why I watch chef AJ. My goal is to be a good role model. Be strong health nuts!

[@dancingonhands]

Wow, Dr. Fuhrman’s presentation is the best one ever!! I need to watch this again. Thank you both so much!!🙌🏼❤️ I love all the plant-based doctors but Dr. Fuhrman is extra special. Gratitude!!🙏🏻

[@ggcruise]

I love Joel Fuhrman ... always glad to hear from him.

[@2t3hr7]

This is the BEST overall talk on how to be healthy and the essence of food addiction. Thank you!

[@jgrysiak6566]

I'm still gonna follow Dr. Mcdougall & Chef A.J. & make starch the centerpiece of my meal, with veg, & fruit for dessert. Nuts , seeds, avocados & olives are just toppings or occasional snacks!

[@beingpatient]

I have such respect for Dr. Joel Furhman he's a wealth of expertise and good honest common sense. Love his calm manner, a real Gentleman and THANK YOU dear Chef AJ for this wonderful interview!! 🌟 ⭐

[@laurieharnicker5451]

This was probably one of the most informative Dr. Fuhrman lectures I've seen to date on your show. His eloquent style in the way he presents exactly why there is such a thing as food addiction and the reasons why processed food is so addictive, makes this such an interesting topic and hopefully will garner more attention in that we need to have more research studies supporting the fact that fast food, processed food and salt, sugar and saturated fat are the villains. Food addiction is not looked at as such is because we do need food to survive. However the franken food like substance stuff that manufacturing companies are allowed to sell is not food. I guess you could say that we could eat the cacao plant but we shouldn't eat the cocaine. Not sure if that's a good example but I think that's why food addiction is not looked at as a real thing. . We had one kid in the class that was fat back in the day (1965) and that was it. It's obvious, it's the processed food causing the health problems. I'm going to get the book Fast Food Genocide. I think it's not a best seller because people don't want to hear bad news about their addictive habits. Thanks Chef AJ, I look forward to all of your shows.

I have never looked back since I first read ‘Eat to live’ 7 years ago. I am now in full Nutrient Rush Mode 😮rather than caloric rush mode …..Knowing the why is vital to change.

[@danakirk1945]

I seriously hope and pray that learning about the caloric rush helps me! I have been wondering and seeking the answer as to what was wrong with me!

[@techidna-h9t]

Love this. Dr Furhman is a truly remarkable person.

[@Amy-qi2kl]

Wow. Wow. wow. I knew/know food addicts but I did not know what that truly meant. Every side effect of food addiction Dr. Fuhrman lists I have witnessed (and lived through). Wow. Now I understand. This is communicated so well. Knowledge is power. Good luck society! Thank Chef AJ and Dr Fuhrman.

[@kathymcgraw4495]

Thank you for this!! I'm struggling with food addiction so much. I'm very grateful.

[@kefirheals7383]

[@RichS.74yroldbodybuilder]

I love Dr. Fuhrman and AJ. They are examples of someone to look up to for their dedication and their service to healthy eating. I’ve learned much from them. I am an example when I see my relatives of what they could be health wise. Just by being an example of a correct way of eating, I can show the people I love why they need to change. If not, I still have my life to live, knowing I tried.😁💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@bulwinderkaur5463]

Thank you so much for this talk. It's like my " daily bread" and a self reminder from time to time. God bless such people who always want to make our world a better place to live and a meaningful life.😍. Thank you.

I also love 'August Rush' another great one with Robin Williams and a bonus with Highmore

[@reneepelletier3021]

Thank you Dr Fuhrman! I love this so much - always learn a ton when you’re on. Thanks for saying it’s okay to eat fats too. I’m in my thirties and have a hard time keeping at a healthy weight without including some nut butter on my oats or seeds on top on veggie stir fry’s etc I think in different seasons of our lives our bodies may need different things. I’m active and my period actually just came back this past spring after years - because I’ve been eating a healthy, nutritarian style diet! Amazing what diet can do! Chef AJ you look beautiful as always ☺️

I see chat about baked pears…. I chop them off the core and air fry for about 15 or 20 mins…they get beautifully sweet and caramelised…..

[@susandurandstone4278]

Excellent presentation! I will listen to Dr Furhman every day so I can overcome my SAD diet.

[@acwrite32]

My friends support me in whatever type of food I eat. I fail to sustain a whole food plant based life style, not because I’m looking for approval by others. In my case, the familiar aroma of food in restaurants is what gets me to choose regular American food. I am a kind person no matter what I eat. Hence, I’m trying Chef AJ’s idea of a retreat from going out to restaurants and/or, not cooking with oil. I am on Day 13 of my 30-day experiment. Even just driving to my appointments or an activity commitment, I drive past my favorite restaurants and it’s hard not to stop. I have to do a lot of self talk on why I’m doing this … for my health. I have told my friends what I’m doing and they are okay with it but family members are less understanding … but it doesn’t matter to me who approves or not. It’s my body, my responsibility. I happen to like Dr Fuhrman! His book, many years ago, Eat to Live, helped me get off blood pressure meds. I respect him very much. I have his cookbook and another book of his as well. Good luck to all, to find their own path to good health.

[@jgrysiak6566]

I'm saving a ton of money by not eating in fast food restaurants or any restaurants anymore. Now I just buy coffee there & bring my own sweet potato, oatmeal & fruit.

[@lisablanchard8915]

I agree with every word Dr.Fuhrman has to say...I see it all around me...thank you for this podcast

Fast Food Genocide makes complete sense. I enjoy listening to Dr. Joel Fuhrman everytime. I learn something new everytime. He takes his time explaining not only why a Nutritarian Diet works, he also takes his time to explain what Fast Food Genocide does to the body. 👍🏼🍎

I have learned some control having been on a WFPB Starch plan for 13 months. I eat a slice of Low Sodium Ezekial bread, toasted with a spread of oil free hummus 3 times a week with my brown rice. Sometimes, a 4th slice vut no more.

[@danakirk1945]

The low sodium Ezekiel bread is the only bread I have found that does not trigger cravings or cause me to start binging.

Watching on replay. Sorry I missed the live talk y'all!

I know I am a little late to the comments. I love Dr Fuhrman and the lifestyle he promotes. I am Deeply saddened that I couldn’t convince my husband to follow it. He has just been diagnosed with heart failure. At 52 years young. We will know the stage next month after seeing the cardiologist. He treated his body like a garbage can for many years. Please folks listen to the good doctor. It’s never to late or to early. Why wouldn’t you want to live in good vibrant health? It is Not worth it to eat what you want all the time, and leave this earth decades to early. Not ever completing the purpose you were born for. All the best. ❤️

[@dboyd1651]

Sorry for your husband's diagnosis. My husband is obese but he is still addicted to fast foods and restaurant foods. I am trying to give him healthy foods at home. Hopefully our husbands can overcome their food addictions. But we know that the food industry has it all figured out.

[@jeannniesavedbygrace]

Oh, I personally cannot have bread in my house. I cannot. I love AJ your idea of locking up food that is a trigger. My husband locks up his bread in a file cabinet and I am very good with that!!

[@lizziedripping71]

Bread is a terrible substance for me. I haven’t eaten it for years - if I eat just one slice or wrap I’m off. I eat the rest of the loaf/packet of wraps & go on a process food binge 😳

[@danakirk1945]

I have found that I can keep a loaf of the low sodium Ezekiel bread in the freezer. I am able to eat one slice of that but not any other type of bread.

[@transcendentcooking]

My take as a food as medicine healer, is that we won't heal our addiction with food until we address our underlying fundamental motivation for eating poorly/our thinking. Once we have addressed our underlying thinking, then we can heal with food. I call our fundamental stance in the world a sponsoring thought, as it sets the groundwork for all the rest of our thinking.

In 12 step programs the first step is powerlessness over an addictive substance. It’s manufactured food not broccoli that people are addicted to.

[@KarinKuiper]

I must admit that I'm more or less addicted to broccoli. I can literally crave it ;-) I ate some candy last week, thinking I needed extra calories, but the sweetness was disgusting... I agree with dr. Fuhrman that a sustained change in diet changes the things you want to eat.

He looks great for 70. If you combine salt, sugar, oil and animal products with anything, there is going to be an unfavorable consequence. There is no need to mention anything else (like rice).......I like the internally generated self esteem logic.
