Today, in contrast, Americans seem obsessed with calories, diets and slimness, and with eating healthful amounts of vitamins, minerals, fats, and proteins. What sparked this remarkable revolution in the way we eat.

In March 2010, The Scripps Research Institute released a study showing that rats on a junk-food diet had just as difficult a time - if not more so - giving up excess fat and sugar as the rats who were struggling to recover from cocaine dependence.

Dr. Dow, a psychologist who specializes in addictive behavior and eating disorders, here introduces a four-week program for breaking the hold that food has over the body, mind, and spirit.

By maintaining a plant-based diet, you have the power to transform your life - no ifs about it. While many omnivores feel a meal without meat just doesn't feel like a meal, the lifestyle based on vegan and vegetarian plants is just as popular - and with good reason. A plant-based diet moves away from foods such as meat, eggs, and milk based on animals and incorporates more fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains. The less you eat meat and milk, the less fat you eat. This goes a long way in maintaining healthy cholesterol and weight levels.

Dr. David Freed warned us in 1999 that many lectins are (a) toxic, inflammatory, or both; (b) resistant to cooking and digestive enzymes; and (c) present in much of our food. Despite these early assumptions, clear and precise guides to help and cure people suffering from lectin-related health issues were practically nonexistent. That is exactly why this guide was carefully created to spread the knowledge about these kinds of proteins and their potential effects and viable solutions and treatment in the public domain.
