FWIW, here is what I've learned from experience. At one time, I balloned to 40 lbs over my upper threshold BMI. I wasn't a victim, I just lacked willpower. In the process of getting it under control (well within my BMI range I might add) I discovered the most addictive substance on planet earth is sugar. Food companies know it too and have no qualms about making sure you get a nice fix. During my first experience at weight loss and several other times when I wanted to lose 5 lbs or so, I realized I needed to go through a sugar detox. That process ususally required about two weeks and afterward my food cravings vanished. From then on, the weight fell off easily. In the gand scheme of addictive substances (opiates, tobacco, liquor) and their effects on socieatl health, I would rank sugar #1.
