Obesity and eating disorders have stubbornly refused to respond to
treatment since the 1990's. This book organizes the evidence for a
possible answer, i.e., that the problem could be one of addiction
to processed foods. In a Processed Food Addiction (PFA) model,
concepts of abstinence, cue-avoidance, acceptance of lapses, and
consequences all play a role in long-term recovery. Application of
these concepts could provide new tools to health professionals and
significantly improve outcomes. This book describes PFA recovery
concepts in detail. The material bridges the research into
practical steps that health professionals can employ in their
practices. It contains an evidence-based chapter on concepts of
abstinence from processed foods. It rigorously describes PFA
pathology according to the DSM 5 Addiction Diagnostic Criteria. It
applies the Addiction Severity Index to PFA so that health
practitioners can orient themselves to diagnosing and assessing
PFA. It contains ground-breaking insight into how to approach PFA
in children. Because the book is evidence-based, practitioners can
gain the confidence to put the controversy about food addiction to
rest. Practitioners can begin to identify and effectively help
their clients who are addicted to processed foods. This is a
breakthrough volume in a field that could benefit from new
approaches.
