Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Food Addiction
Charlie Mason · 2019
52/100
👎 Skip It
The framework here is sensible enough — food addiction has both mental and physical dimensions, and you can't just eliminate food the way you can quit alcohol — and the tables-and-lists format gives readers something immediately actionable. The problem is that the author's credentials can't be independently verified, the publishing path is print-on-demand self-publishing, and the market has clinically validated alternatives with actual healthcare professionals behind them. For someone genuinely struggling, this isn't the resource to lean on.
