Non OA Literature

David Kessler, is his book The End of Overeating,  makes the observation the 50% of obese, 30% of overweight and 15% of thin people share 3 characteristics,  in a condition which he calls conditioned hypereating. These characteristics are loss of control of appetite (eat until it is gone) in face of highly palatable foods, lack of satiation during eating (no full indicator), and preoccupation with thinking about food, eating, getting, and the like (looking for more). Sound familiar?

He offers little as a solution, other than to follow an eating plan rigidly. I do not know about you, but if I could do that, I would not have the problem.

He has a bunch of statements in his presentation that I do not agree with that  represent common beliefs of the public which others have debunked. 

A video summarizing his book can be found at http://www.youtube.com/user/weightmaven#p/a/B87C02F016ECE119/0/A7M_mqXzpr8 

Take what you like and ignore the rest. Any or comments or questions?
