Book Description
Overeating and obesity are on the rise. Despite public health warnings, availability of diet books and programs, and the stigma associated with obesity, many people find it difficult to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. While there are many books on the topic of caloric or need-based eating, obesity and overeating can also result from eating that is not driven by hunger. Recent research found that excess food intake is largely driven by the palatability of food and the pleasure derived from eating. Hedonic Eating: How the Pleasure of Food Affects Our Brains and Behavior discusses the pleasurable aspects of food intake that may cause and perpetuate overconsumption. Broad in its scope, this book examines the various behavioral, biological, and social rewards of food. The comprehensive chapters cover topics ranging from the neurochemistry of food reward to the hotly debated concept of 'food addiction,' while providing relevant and up-to-date information from the current body of scientific literature regarding food reward.

Book Description
Overeating and obesity are on the rise in both the United States and in other countries around the world, despite public health warnings, the availability of diet books, and the stigma associated with excess weight. Recent research shows that excess food intake is, in part, driven by the pleasure derived from the palatability, or pleasurable taste, of food. While many books focus on need-based eating, the psychobiological factors of pleasure-driven excessive food intake are rarely considered. In Hedonic Eating, Dr. Nicole M. Avena and an expert team of contributors explore the behavioral, biological, and social rewards of eating in our current world saturated with hyper-palatable food. Hedonic Eating: How the Pleasure of Food Affects Our Brains and Behavior m II appeal to scientists, medical doctors, nutritionists, psychologists, counselors, and students taking specialized courses that cover appetite. It will also appeal to the general public interested in learning more about topics, including brain reward-related mechanisms associated with food intake, eating behaviors resulting from these changes in the brain, obesity and overeating, and science-based approaches to Combat the changing landscape of our food environment.

Book Description
The lifelong care required for bariatric surgery patients often presents colleagues in the office with the situation of having to identify surgical and nutritive complications related to the previous surgery. This often requires very specialized knowledge not only of the surgical procedures themselves, but especially of the metabolic changes that follow surgery. Based on many years of experience in the leading surgical obesity centers in Germany, the editors have compiled this book. It offers practical guidance for the follow-up care of obesity patients who have undergone surgery. With practical relevance, the book supports general practitioners and internists in their competence to recognize and treat postoperative changes and complications. The diverse and complex physiological changes are explained as well as the necessary knowledge of surgical procedures. The topics of nutrition, deficiencies and supplementation after surgery, possible complications and intervention options are highlighted. Monitoring of pregnancy following bariatric surgical intervention also takes on special emphasis.

Book Description
In the World Library of Psychologists series, international experts present career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces - extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, and their major practical theoretical contributions. In this volume: Overweight and obesity rates have increased dramatically in most industrialized countries, even though more and more people are chronically dieting. Dieters can manage to lose substantial amounts of weight while actively dieting, but most regain it within a few years. So why do most chronic dieters have such difficulty controlling their weight and why is there only a small minority of successful dieters? To address these questions, Stroebe developed the goal conflict model of eating behavior, a social cognitive theory that attributes the difficulty of chronic dieters to a conflict between two incompatible goals: eating enjoyment and weight control. Although chronic dieters are motivated to pursue their weight control goal, most fail in food-rich environments: Surrounded by palatable food cues that activate thoughts of eating enjoyment, incompatible weight control thoughts are inhibited and weight control intentions are "forgotten". For successful dieters - probably due to past success in exerting self-control - tasty high-calorie food has become associated with weight control thoughts. For them, exposure to palatable food makes weight control thoughts more accessible, enabling them to control their body weight in food-rich environments. This book contains the key articles of a research program by Stroebe and collaborators to assess the validity of this theory. They succeeded in tracing the processes that lead from temptation to a breakdown of dieting intentions. They also demonstrated that these theoretical principles can be used to develop effective weight loss interventions. The book should be of value for all researcgers, students and clinicians involved in obesity research and treatment.
