"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:

  • Is food as powerful as drugs on the mind?
  • Why just an extra 5% effort can be the breakthrough for long-term weight loss.
  • 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.
