What if the reason you can't stop eating certain foods isn't a lack of willpower, but a neurological response similar to addiction? Susan Peirce Thompson's groundbreaking approach reveals how processed foods - particularly sugar and flour - affect our brains like addictive substances. Brain scans of food addicts show activation patterns strikingly similar to drug addicts when exposed to trigger foods. For those high on the Food Addiction Susceptibility Scale, moderation simply isn't possible. Sugar raises insulin levels, blocks leptin (our fullness hormone), and activates the same reward pathways as cocaine, creating an insatiable hunger regardless of how much we eat. The solution? Four non-negotiable boundaries called "Bright Lines": no sugar, no flour, eating only at meals, and weighing food portions. These boundaries address both substance addiction (what we eat) and behavioral addiction (how we eat). Research shows it takes about 14 days for sugar cravings to diminish significantly and up to eight weeks for the brain's reward system to reset. When these rules are absolute rather than subjective, the brain expends less energy on decision-making and becomes less susceptible to rationalization.
