290/365 - The End of Overeating

I am reading this book by Dr. David Kessler called The End of Overeating and it's changing the way I think and the way I see food. I'm about half-way through so far and what they've mentioned so far is how food companies use three things: fat, sugar and salt in layer upon layer of food to make it appealing to you. These types of food fire chemicals in your brain that is linked to pleasure centers so you like them more. Unfortunately they are very unhealthy and bad for you. Now I'm starting to look at food and I'm thinking that that is just made up of fat and sugar and you don't need that. Of course thinking and doing are two different things, but I'm getting there. Taking control of my mind first. :)
