Unfortunately I eat meat.. BUT.. I tried not to eat and I felt kind

of bad (like a drug addict). Is that a natural reaction?

I like tofou and soy very much and I usually eat these stuffs when I

can instead of meat.

There is a fairly new book out by PCRM (Physicians Committee for

Responsible Medicine) about the addictive properties of meat and other

foods:

 

Breaking the Food Seduction: The Hidden Reasons Behind Food

Cravings---And 7 Steps to End Them Naturally

Why is it so hard to resist the temptation of chocolate? Because

chocolate triggers the release of natural opiates in the brain. It's a

drug " strong enough to keep us coming back for more, " according to

nutritional researcher Neal Barnard, M.D., president and founder of the

Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine. Cheese also releases

mild opiates during digestion--no wonder we crave it. In Breaking the

Food Seduction, Barnard helps you understand and overcome your food

cravings. He explains which foods " hook " us the most and why, and what

to do to break free when you want to decrease the calories and fat that

accompany these seductive foods. Cheese, for example, is about 70

percent saturated fat and has more cholesterol, ounce for ounce, than a

steak.

 

Barnard offers seven steps to breaking your food cravings, devoting a

chapter to each one, with anecdotes and plenty of clear, sound,

practical tips. Then he presents guidelines for healthy eating using

" the New Four Food Groups " --vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole

grains--with a three-week menu plan and 113 healthful, vegan recipes.

Highly recommended for people who want to understand their food cravings

and finally get rid of them. --Joan Price
