Summary

The brutal truth about weight loss is that we are addicted to the foods that are killing us.

"Your addiction is more important [than living]," according to Dr. Joel Fuhrman. "When a person says, 'I'd rather die than eat [healthy]. Just shoot me right now. Can't enjoy food anymore?!'"

Learn about the power the mind plays in preventing you from shedding the pounds you want and living a healthier, more rewarding life.

Dr. Fuhrman joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll for a powerful conversation on food addiction from the NHA Conference in Cleveland.

In This Episode:

- Why do you feel sick when starting to eat healthier at first?

- Does fat really stick to the hips?

- How long before you begin to feel better?

- What are realistic expectations for weight loss?

- Is your diet contributing to allergies?

- Tips for helping someone begin to eat a plant-based diet.

- Tips for eating healthy while traveling.
