This book was pretty good. It is hard to judge a scientfic book like this since everyone has a body that works differently. We all react to certain stimulus in different ways, so I cannot believe this is a one-size-fits-all type of help book. It was still very interesting!!

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complimentary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

Thank you for the opportunity to advance read the new book Diet, Drugs, and Dopamine by David Kessler, MD. This book was well researched and provided a wealth of information about obesity, brain science, and recent advances in weight loss medications. I especially appreciated the information about our history with processed foods, techniques for re-wiring the brain for weight loss, and the information about GLP-1 medications. As someone who has tried almost everything to lose weight and finally jumped off the yo-yo diet train, I find the GLP-1 meds to be yet one more fad in a long line of diet industry fads. Because of this I have stayed far away from information regarding these medications. I appreciated that the author recognized both the benefits and drawbacks of the medications and the current over-use of the meds due to celebrity endorsements. This is a good book for anyone looking for a well-researched book on obesity and weight loss.
